Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
A7+13, is a A7 with an added 13th. (if it means you need 5 fingers you can drop the root & 5th - that's the bassist's job)
Alt means both the 5th AND 9th are altered in some way
Sus means no 3rd, it's raised or lowered
Aug/Dim relates to the 5th only
Slash chords A7/C relate to the bass note - safely ignored as again, that's the bassist's job
When I see these on a new chart I usually just play a triad until I get a feel for the melody - often the extensions are completely irrelevant to what's going on and are a fetish of the transcriber - loads of examples of this in Real Books

Yep A alt is altered; I normally play it 5 4 5 6 6 x. So A7#5 I guess?
And yes the +13 meant Add 13 - me being lazy! I play it just like an A tonic b7, except it's a 6th: 5 7 5 6 7 5
Cheers!

Nice. Of course you can also have augmented and diminished 4ths too: augmented 4ths for example in music based in lydian or overtone scales (eg the 3rd note in The Simpsons), and diminished 4ths, either based off the root (eg the 4th in the superlocrian scale), or somewhere else in the scale (eg from the 7th to the 3rd in the harmonic minor scale).

(For overtone scale referred to above, it's called the acoustic scale on the file (aka lydian dominant and a whole heap of other names))
