I just need some clarification. Am I getting chords notated this way - 1-5-♭7-9-11, 1-3-5-♭7-♯11, 1-3-5-♭7-9-13, 1-4-5-♭7-9-13 - right?
3 == M3 5 == P5 ♭7 == m7 ♭♭7 == d7 (?) ♭5 == d5 (?) ♯5 == A5 ♯9 == A9

1 - P1 2 - M2 3 - M3 4 - P4 5 - P5 6 - M6 7 - M7 8 - P8 9 - M9 10 - M10 11 - P11 12 - P12 13 - M13 14 - M14 15 - P15 ...
The sharps and flats obviously alter the intervals in there respected ways with sharps raising the interval and flats lowering them.
For perfect intervals, the intervals go as followed when raised or lowered:
♭♭ - ♭ - natural - ♯ - ♯♯ dd - d - P - A - AA
For major intervals, the intervals go as followed when raised or lowered:
♭♭♭ - ♭♭ - ♭ - natural - ♯ - ♯♯ dd - d - m - M - A - AA
