the recent note on turning seqs into songs reminded me ...
one of the reasons that i called those dubly recursive
factorizations of integers "riffs" (qv) was because of
the notelike pictures they gave, reminiscent of things
like arpeggios and flam paradiddles and such.  i meant
to knock on some music theorist's door someday but did
not get around to it.  might be worth a pluck or three.

Good point,

3 = 1(1+2)
5 = 1(1+4)
7 = 1(1+6)
etc.

So all odd numbers should, trivially, be in the sequence. Thanks!

Why 3 belong to this sequence?

2^2 = 1^2 + 3
3 = n*(n+E)  for n=1, E=2.
