I don't know if this will help (it might)...

In the Windows version, there are settings for the display of these chords in the 'Display Options' menu. (See image.)

Just to double-check... are you typing C11, C2, with no space between the C and the numerals?

Also, try de-selecting the options and see if it works then.

That's works when I deselct theme but I want to be able to have BIAB actual distinguish a 9sus from an 11, a sus2 from a sus4, and an add2 and so on.

I think BiaB has no pure C11 chord (as it would create a dissonant minor 9th interval with the third).

Fred is correct. From BIAB's perspective, X9sus and X11 are seen as the same chord. The option in Display Options is only a choice on how one wants these chords displayed. It doesn't change the sound of the chord.

The same applies to X2 and Xsus2. Once again BIAB sees these as musically the same... the checkbox in Display Options is only designed for allowing one to choose which way to display them.

...although as I've mentioned previously, I believe it treats it as an Cadd9 (C E G D), or an C2 (C D E G), not an actual Csus2 (C D G). At least in the MIDI implementation; not sure what was recorded in the RealTracks implementation.
