This description does not make sense to me.

Here are my guesses for where these numbers came from:

_10  -:  -0{a
_12  -:  -1{a
_13.5  -: b - +/0 1{a
16  -:  3{a
18  -:  4{a

But I can not figure out how my guesses relate to
your description.

If I understood your description properly, you might
be interested in something like:
      b-+/\.&.|. a
25.5 13.5 _0.5 _16.5 _34.5
or
   0 >. b-+/\.&.|. a
25.5 13.5 0 0 0

But I am not at all confident that this is what you
are looking for.
