or D-5r3 with voicing extension becomes C-2-3 with DGCFAD

are there better ways?

Perhaps fretboard diagrams are a good option for you? Take a look at this short link. If interested, search, "fretboard diagrams" for more info and printable diagrams.

Good luck,

Thanks, I make my own diagrams, especially since I'm
now set on D-Standard tuning for good. I even add little
extras like a trailing tail to the lowered 3rd of a minor chord,
colors for red/root, black/3rd, gold/5th, and green for definitive
others like a 7. I'm concentrating on sliding chords (always
including at least one alternative) that my fingers can handle
and ignoring the rest. Made a draft video to explore some
possibilities but am abandoning the boring run up the scale,
my intent being to do something very similar but with selected
and much more interesting jamming tracks. Once I know my
chords the diagrams go, and once I acquire a feel for where
and how they fit, the suffixed chord-names either go as well
or I keep'em. All this will become useless history, but that's
how it is with trainingware and just making some I learn a lot.
