A 9th chord contains a 3rd, 5th and 7th. An 11th chord contains all these plus a 9th. A 13th chord contains all these plus an 11th. The 5th, 9th and/or 13th default to wa. The 6th, 7th, and/or 11th default to the color of the 3rd. Thus Cy13 = w1 y3 w5 y7 w9 y11 w13, and Cy9 and Cy11 are subsets of this chord. However, if an 11th ~~is added, it~~ defaults to wa~~. See~~ z7,11:

Alterations are always in parentheses, additions never are, e.g. z7(zg5) and z,y6. An alteration's degree must match a note in the chord, e.g. Cz7(y6) is invalid. But an exception is made for sus chords, where degree 2 or 4 alter the 3rd~~: C(z4) = w1 z4 w5~~. The sus note defaults to wa: ~~Cy9~~(4) = w1 w4 w5 y7 w9.

Alterations are always in parentheses, additions never are, e.g. z7(zg5) and z,y6. An alteration's degree must match a note in the chord, e.g. Cz7(y6) is invalid. But an exception is made for sus chords, where degree 2 or 4 alter the 3rd. The sus note defaults to wa. A 6:8:9 chord could be written C(4), but the parentheses rule is relaxed to allow the conventional C4. Likewise 8:9:12 is C2. But if the sus note isn't wa, parentheses must be used. Thus w1 z4 w5 = C(z4) = "C zo-four". More examples:

* 6:7:8:9 = Cz,4 = "C zo add-four"

* w1 w4 w5 y7 w9 = Cy9(4) = "C yo-nine sus-four"

* w1 z4 w5 z7 = Cz7(z4) or C(z4),z7 = "C zo-seven zo-four" or "C zo-four zo-seven"

Omissions are indicated by "no". The Hendrix chord might be Ch7z10no5. Unless using po or qu, enharmonic substitutions aren't allowed. 7/3 is a 10th, never a 9th unless it's a qu 9th (e.g. Ch7zq9no5). A no3 tetrad can also be written as a 5 chord with an added 6th or 7th: Cy6no3 = C5y6, and Cz7(zg5)no3 = C(zg5)z7.
