63.31Triad pair #4 — dominant sus environment

Over C7sus / C pedal:

B♭ major:

B♭ D F.

D minor:

D F A.

But they overlap on D/F, so not ideal as a strict non-overlapping pair.

A cleaner pair can be chosen depending desired collection.

This is an important point:

not every useful upper structure automatically makes an ideal triad pair.
