%e For n=12, composition [2,1,2,4,3] of 12 has the set of absolute differences {1,2}, which is a subset of the set of parts {1,2,3,4}, so it counts towards a(12) = 157.

%e a(3) = 3 compositions: [3], [2,1], [1,2].

%e a(6) = 11 compositions: [6], [4,2], [2,4], [3,2,1], [3,1,2], [2,3,1], [2,1,3], [1,3,2], [1,2,3], [2,1,2,1], [1,2,1,2].
