I think it's safe to assume anywhere that sus == sus4. Sus2 is different.
The 'sus' is short for 'suspended' and what it means is that, instead of resolving to a stable triad, it's deliberately held away from the triad. We expected the chord to resolve, but it doesn't yet ... it keeps us waiting, it keeps us "in suspense".
Usually sus4 goes on to resolve to the Major chord and sus2 goes on to resolve to the minor chord, but I think one can't rely on that, Sometimes it's a tease and the chord progression goes somewhere else instead.
Jazz relative beginner, starting at a much older age than was helpful. AVL:MXE Linux; Windows 11 BIAB2025 Audiophile, a bunch of other software. Kawai MP6, Ui24R, Focusrite Saffire Pro40 and Scarletts .
would still be interested to know what kind of music the OP is trying to create and where the chords he's trying to enter come from. if the songs he's creating are original, its odd he's trying to use chords he doesn't understand so i assume he's trying to enter from sheet music
unless he's just creating progressions in scaler and transferring to BIAB
i'm not a user of scaler but that might be the answer, so what he's creating is AI music and seeing if he likes it

thanks. There is another question. In BIAB, Csus2=C2, right?

The main reason is that SCALER’s writing of chords is different from that of BIAB. I want to make sure that the writing of chords is different, but they are actually the same.

Does that answer your question, Bob?
He actually described his mission very clearly in a recent post. He asks questions until somebody tells him, “no, you can’t do that”, then he focuses on proving that he can. This is a very positive attitude and much prized in modern society. In that sense, you could regard his threads here as his compositions.
I was being sarcastic but serious. He is going to hit 1000 posts by New Year’s Day. I have not seen one where he talks about creating a finished piece of music (though he does claim to be able to do so, unlike the music teachers he knows.)
