And it is the same for BANA.
I will try to be clear. "Haddock" offers the choice of 2 contractions:
1) "had" to 456 h (saving 1 character)
2) "dd" to dropped d (saving 1 character)
So either choice saves the same, but choice 2 is considered "simpler" since
the contraction is one braille character instead of two.
Thus, we use the dropped d

Contraction for had may generally be used when the a is short unless the
preference rule directs otherwise. The preference rule 8.8.5 is "Simple
group signs should generally be preferred to composite contractions
provided their use does not waste space.
