I'm a glutton for books on music, and Leonard Meyer’s is already on my list. I also recommend the book I'm currently reading - David Huron "Sweet Anticipation, music and the psychology of expectation", which also deals with predictability, although he calls it expectation, and I frame it as pattern matching. He writes very well, explains technical stuff so you can understand it, and I've learned a lot so far. He also cites Meyer. It's definitely one of the best books I've read on the subject.
