Comments

Compositions ending in an even part yield sequence 0 1 2 6 18 ... (this sequence). and A123638(n)+a(n) = A047970(n). Ending parity of compositions can be detected using mod(A065120,2)

Examples

			4
31 32 33
211 221 222
1111
Consider the above multisets- permute and note the parity of the ending part of each of the 14 compositions.
4
31 13 32 23 33
211 121 112 221 212 122 222
1111
4 is even
31 13 23 and 33 are odd
32 is even
etc
there are 1+1+4+0 even compositions therefore a(4)=6.
