I think DBT's dictionary is too literal and needs to be updated to include
the plural in the first service release of 10.5 (if it's still the same in
10.5).
At this time the only fix I know of is to search and replace after
translating to braille.

By the way, you sent me scrambling to check my last music project. Phew!! No
plurals.

Subject: [duxuser] suppressing letter signs
Hi all
I'm encountering a problem where dbt is producing a letter sign which looks
odd and unnecessary to me. When I translate the ordinal number 2nd, dbt
correctly does not put a letter sign before the n.
When I write 2nds dBT puts a letter sign before the n. It may be correct in
BANA rules, but it looks really silly to me. The argument may be that 2nds
is not gramatically correct, but it is a common usage in musical circles
i.e. major and minor 2nds. We are using the number over the word
deliberately.
Is there a way of suppressing the letter sign here? Is this fixed in 10.5?
I'm still using 10.4, as I haven't purchased 10.5 yet due to circumstances
but will do asap).
Many thanks.
LIsette
