This is a genuine error that BiaB makes, especially with Sus2 chords. By definition a Sus2 chord contains only the root, the 2nd, and the 5th. That's it. There is never a 3rd in a Sus2 chord. Yet, when I type in a sus2 chord, the chords are, more often than not, jam-packed with 3rds. If I wanted 3rds, I'd type, for example, Cadd2 or Cadd9. And when I type in these examples, that is, in fact, what BiaB generates. So, why this incorrect duplicity?

I've also noted that, when it comes to Sus4 chords, things are different. Usually, I don't find 3rds being displayed with Sus4 chords. But often I do find b7's all over the place, even when I did not indicate a 7sus4. I mean, if I'm in the key of C, for example, it is very presumptive of BiaB to suddenly throw in a bunch of Bb's just because I wanted a Sus4. What makes BiaB think I wanted a dominant harmony there, especially when I'm in the key of C, where the 7th is a B and not a Bb?

BiaB is brilliant in many ways, but in a few others, it just seems to have missed the bus.
