Re: 'necklace'-type classes of combinatorial compositions

[john n <johnnagelson@yahoo.co.uk>]

Thank you again for your very kind help with this. Your code has been
tremendously useful.

If I might 'pick your brains' again (!), I wondered whether you might show
me how to amend it, so that classes are defined as containing elements that
are equivalent under rotation, but not under reflection or a combination of
both,

E.g. among the compositions yielded by

function(18,5)

would be both [1,5,3,2,7] and [1,7,2,3,5] because one cannot be transformed
into the other by rotation.

Thanks again,

John
