I can cover you for 12 with Maurice Andersons tuning. From top to bottom D-B-G-E-C-A-G-E-C-A-F-D. What you'd add to that to get 13 I don't know. Maybe a C# between strings 8 and 9? For a 10 string tuning you could leave off 1 and 2, or 11 and 12, or 1 and 12. You could also use the late Tom Morrell's 10 string tuning. I never get it quite right. But it's something like G#-F#-E-C#-B-G#-F#-E-B-E. Someone will correct me. I'm sure there's a D in there somewhere.

| Ed, you're right-- string 9 is not B, it's D. |

I like this tuning below; as it gives me options to change the tuning from a C6th(FM9) to a D13+9 without changing string gauges.
| Tab: |
(C6th) (D13+9) (Guage)
1) G down 1/2> F# .012p
2) E down whole> D .015p
3) C down 1/2> B .018p
4) A stay same> A .022p
5) G down 1/2> F# .026w
6) E stay same E .030w
7) C up whole> D .036w
 Bb up whole> C .038w
9) A stay same> A .042w
10 F up 1/2> F# .054w
