Other thirteenth chords

While the dominant thirteenth is the most common thirteenth chord, the major thirteenth is also fairly common. A major thirteenth chord (containing a major seventh) will nearly always feature a chromatically raised eleventh (C E G B D F♯ A) (see lydian mode), except for cases when the eleventh is omitted altogether. It is customary to omit the eleventh on dominant or major thirteenth chords because the eleventh conflicts with the third, in these chords by a semitone.
