Note
A regular -s plural that serves every meaning of the noun at once. The same form counts army officers ranked between captain and lieutenant colonel, band officers whose title always carries a modifier in front, and people of legal age. In music, where major is short for major key, interval or scale, the plural works identically, so only context tells a roomful of majors from a set of keys.
