A musically inspired Titius-Bode-like sequence based on the geometric division of 4- and 5-dimensional space: Z_(n+1) = 3 * (C(n-1, 0) + C(n-1, 1) + C(n-1, 2) + C(n-1, 3) + C(n-1, 4) + C(n-1, 5)*A059620(n+6)) + 4.

The classical Titius-Bode version of this sequence is given in A003461.
C(n, 0) + C(n, 1) + C(n, 2) + C(n, 3) + C(n, 4) = A000127(n) = A059173(n+1)/2.
C(n, 0) + C(n, 1) + C(n, 2) + C(n, 3) + C(n, 4) + C(n, 5) = A006261(n) = A059174(n+1)/2.
Where planetary and dwarf-planetary distances from the Sun at semi-major axis are expressed in astronomical units/10, then compare the following (noting that the running correlation coefficient, r, trends upwards as the population size increases):
n = 0, Mercury @ semi-major = 3.8710 vs. 4.0 --> 96.78%.
n = 1, Venus @ semi-major = 7.2333 vs. 7.0 --> 103.33%.
n = 2, Earth @ semi-major = 10.0000 vs. 10.0 --> 100.00%, r = 0.998430.
n = 3, Mars @ semi-major = 15.2368 vs. 16.0 --> 95.23%, r = 0.998356.
n = 4, Ceres @ semi-major = 27.654 vs. 28.0 --> 98.76%, r = 0.999412.
n = 5, Jupiter @ semi-major = 52.0427 vs. 52.0 --> 100.08%, r = 0.999809.
n = 6, Saturn @ semi-major = 95.8202 vs. 97.0 --> 98.78%, r = 0.999937.
n = 7, Uranus @ semi-major = 192.2941 vs. 193.0 --> 99.63%, r = 0.999981.
n = 8, Neptune @ semi-major = 301.0366 vs. 301.0 --> 100.01%, r = 0.999990.
The correspondence between this sequence and planetary distances breaks down subsequent to Neptune unless one adopts the conceit of considering the outer four dwarf planets -- Pluto, Haumea, MakeMake and Eris -- as one unit occupying one "planetary band" (note that Eris @ perihelion is inside the Kuiper Belt). Then:
n = 9, Pluto/Haumea/MakeMake/Eris @ semi-major ~ 490.492 average vs. 493.0 --> 99.49%, r = 0.999994.

This sequence originated as part of an attempt to compare and contrast the "good" numerology of Johann Balmer to the "bad" numerology of Titius-Bode. Coincidentally, (Totient(C(31, 0) + C(31, 1) + C(31, 2) + C(31, 3) + C(31, 4)))/10^11 equals 3.6456*10^-7, in meters, the Balmer constant as given by Johann Balmer in 1885.
