%N Number of primitive (period n) n-bead bracelet structures which are not periodic palindromes using exactly three different colored beads.

%C Permuting the colors of the beads will not change the structure.

%F a(n) = A056367(n) - A056519(n).

%e For n = 3, the 1 bracelet structure has the pattern: ABC.

%e For n = 4, the 1 bracelet structure has the pattern: AABC.

%e For n = 5, the 4 bracelet structures have the patterns: AAABC, AABAC, AABBC, ABABC. The pattern ABBAC is excluded because it is a periodic palindrome.

%e For n = 6, the 8 bracelet structures have the patterns: ABCCCC, ABBCCC, ABBBCB, ABBCBC, ABBCCB, ABCBBC, AABBCC, AABCBC.
