%N Number of compositions of n that are not a twin (x,x) but have adjacent equal parts.

%C A composition with no adjacent equal parts is also called a Carlitz composition, so these are non-twin, non-Carlitz compositions.

%F For n > 0, a(n) = A261983(n) - A059841(n).

%F O.g.f.: 1 + x/(1-2x) - x^2/(1-x^2) - 1/(1 - Sum_{k>0} x^k/(1+x^k)).

%Y Allowing twins gives A261983, complement A003242.

%Y The non-alternating case is A348377, difference A345195.

%Y These compositions are ranked by A348612 \ A007582.

%Y A001250 counts alternating permutations, complement A348615.

%Y A007582 ranks twin compositions.

%Y A011782 counts compositions, strict A032020.

%Y A025047 counts alternating or wiggly compositions, complement A345192.

%Y A051049 counts non-twin compositions, complement A000035(n+1).

%Y A325534 counts separable partitions, ranked by A335433.

%Y A325535 counts inseparable partitions, ranked by A335448.
