Chords featuring extensions above the dominant seventh, namely the 9th, 11th and 13th can often be voiced in several ways, due to the number of notes (degrees of the scale) these chords can feature. Each can appear in several guises, and are often more efficiently expressed, as chord symbols, in alternate ways (especially for non-jazz players). See this document for clarification (or confusion).
A bracketted number next to a chord (other than a (b5) or (#5) indicates a momentary, superficial or decorative suspension or extension that is relatively unimportant to the underlying progression. A bracketted chord at the beginning of a line indicates that this chord is carried over from the previous line.
