Hi Elaine,

Agreed! I see absolutely nothing wrong with that, and didn’t intend to imply
otherwise. I was just pointing out that applying consistent assumptions about
voice-leading and traditional suspension resolutions highlights the ambiguity
in the notation “Csus7”: it could mean
<c e g> + b, suggesting a [fixed-root] resolution to <c e g> + a (i.e.,
7-6 sus)
or
<c g bf> + f, suggesting a [fixed-root] resolution to <c g bf> + e (i.e.,
4-3 sus)
That’s why I strongly prefer the notation “Csus7” (or even something like the
awkward “Csus+7”) only if you mean the [relatively rare] first example, and
“C7sus4” if you mean the [far more common] second example.
Cheers,
Kieren.
