Hello all

I'm not sure where this question  belongs but I'll start here.
I'm transcribing a simple music chord chart which has chord symbols. I'm
using  dbt version 4, British with capitals. No problems, except that for
sequences such as
Dm7 (note that's cap d, small m7), DBT puts the capital sign before the
letter sign i.e. dot 6, dots 5-6, dots 1-4-5, dots 1-3-4, dots 3-4-5-6, dots
1-2-4-5
I would have thought the capital sign would go after the letter sign. It
does this correctly with sequences such as
G7
F
etc

Is this a British braille rule I'm not aware of, or is Duxbury doing a
funny?
 When I use the    English-American translation tables it doesn't put a
letter sign at all for Dm7 which  is how I would have brailled it myself.
I'm just wondering if somebody who knows can tell me whether a capital sign
ever comes before a letter sign without  letters  in between such as Dm7?

I hope somebody understands me.

Many thanks
