This paper explores three tonal properties of pitch-class sets. Tonal implication is the key that a set implies; tonal ambiguity is the degree to which a set implies one key as opposed to several; tonalness is the degree to which a set is characteristic of the lan-guage of common-practice tonal music. I propose a simple probabilistic framework for measuring these three properties. I then examine some applications of the theory, focusing on the measurement of tonal ambiguity and how this sheds light on some issues of compositional practice and tonal analysis
