A dominant thirteenth suspended fourth chord is composed using a root/1st, perfect 4th, perfect 5th, minor 7th, major 9th major 13th (or R/1-4-5-♭7-9-13) intervals played simultaneously. Generally written as C13sus4 or C13sus, it is good practice to simply use an uppercase C with the number 13 followed by a super scripted sus4 to represent it in writing (ie: C13sus4) however it is also common to see it written as C13sus with the presumption of a suspended 4th and not suspended 2nd.
