Maybe the conditional entropy would be comparable but that does not mean that the structure would be similar. In a typical medieval music score most (I don't know how many, maybe around 90%) notes are separated from the next by 0, 1 or 2 half-tones. So we could easily reconstruct the scale from bi-gram statistics.

There are ways to record music differently than glyph = pitch. I don't know about these. There was a discussion in the comments section on Nick Pelling's blog:
