COMMENTS
A Schoenberg 12-tone row is a permutation of the integers from 0 to 11. It is assumed the first element is 0 so there are 11! 12-tone rows. The ordered interval sequence is the 1st-order difference modulo 12.

EXAMPLE
There are 4 ordered interval sequences that contain only one interval: all 1s, all 5s, all 7s, and all 11s. One of the 140 that contain 2 unique intervals is [1,9,1,9,1,9,1,9,1,9,1,9], and one of the 8472 that contain 3 unique intervals is [5,4,5,4,5,4,4,3,3,3,4,4]. The 23136 sequences with 11 unique intervals are the famous All-Interval Sequences first determined by Bauer-Mengelberg and Ferentz in 1965.
