A much easier way to play Dbmaj7b5 is xx6563 - Also Cmaj7b5 can easily be played xx5452.So you can slide from one to the other Much easier than the auto generated chords at the top of page, which are stinkers.

I think that a lot of the 11 chords are actually minor 11s; other than that it’s perfect
