Key-numbers of the pitches of a major scale on a standard chromatic keyboard, with root = 0.
Also key-numbers of the pitches of an Ionian mode scale on a standard chromatic keyboard, with root = 0. An Ionian mode scale can, for example, be played on consecutive white keys of a standard keyboard, starting on the root tone C.

FORMULA
G.f.: x^2*(x + 1)*(x^5 + x^4 + x^3 + x^2 + 2)/((x^6 + x^5 + x^4 + x^3 + x^2 + x + 1)*(x - 1)^2). - R. J. Mathar, Oct 08 2011
From Wesley Ivan Hurt, Jul 20 2016: (Start)
a(n) = a(n-1) + a(n-7) - a(n-8) for n > 8.
a(n) = (84*n - 70 - 2*(n mod 7) - 2*((n + 1) mod 7) - 2*((n + 2) mod 7) + 5*((n + 3) mod 7) - 2*((n + 4) mod 7) - 2*((n + 5) mod 7) + 5*((n + 6) mod 7))/49.
a(7k) = 12k - 1, a(7k-1) = 12k - 3, a(7k-2) = 12k - 5, a(7k-3) = 12k - 7, a(7k-4) = 12k - 8, a(7k-5) = 12k - 10, a(7k-6) = 12k - 12. (End)
a(n) = a(n-7) + 12 for n > 7. - Jianing Song, Sep 22 2018
