Lukas, Aaaah, that makes sense. As a classical stiff I just assumed that suspensions resolve downwards by default, so the 2 was in fact a suspended tonic, not a suspended third. And since the minor third is already present in the chord I'm dealing with, I think I'll just change it to Gm add9.
Thanks again! Brent.
