I dug out the reference. It was sent to me by Jay Dowling of the University
of Texas at Dallas. It's from The First International Conference on Music
Perception and Cognition, Kyoto Japan, 17-19 October 1989.
"Melodic and nonmelodic pitch-patterns: effects of duration on perception",
Richard M. Warren, Daniel A. Gardner, Bradley S. Brubaker, and James A.
Bashford, Jr.
all from the Dept. of Psychology, Univ. of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, pp.
343-348.
