The effect of musical training approached significance ( F (1, 49) = 3.64, p = .062, musicians Mean = 2.43, S.E = .14, non-musicians Mean = 2.77, SE = .11), but there was no main effect of groove familiarity ( F (1, 49) = .70, p = .439).

There was a close-to-significant small correlation between syncopation and joint audio entropy ( r = .259, p = .067), which may have been caused by both measures representing complexity, albeit based on different methods of computation: A syncopated pattern might be described in terms of uncertainty (unexpected note onsets), but uncertainty can be expressed in other ways than syncopation (e.g. microtiming).
