%C Counts rhyme schemes.

%C Row sums of triangle A137596 starting with offset 1. - _Gary W. Adamson_, Jan 29 2008

%C With offset 1 = binomial transform of the Bell numbers, A000110 starting (1, 1, 1, 2, 5, 15, 52, 203, ...). - _Gary W. Adamson_, Dec 04 2008

%C a(n) is the number of partitions of the set {1,2,...,n} in which n is either a singleton or it is in a block of consecutive integers. Example: a(3)=4 because we have 123, 1-23, 12-3, and 1-2-3. Deleting the blocks containing n=3, we obtain: empty, 1, 12, 1-2, i.e., all the partitions of the sets: empty, {1}, and {1,2}. - _Emeric Deutsch_, May 01 2010
