Sorry man, I can't accept b10th.  Did we not discuss this before?  b9th
and #9th are altered tension 9th.  10th is an octave above 3rd, and I
never understood how 10th can be a tension.  The chair for the most
important note, the 3rd is already taken so 10th can't sit there :-)

Not in my book.  Sorry again.  Db is lowered 5th, and Eb is tension
b13th, they can't be spelled in sharps theoretically.

OK, but I also admit theory is sorta religion, that, I believe what I
believe :-)
