Note
A regular plural that carries every meaning of the singular, not just names on paper. A petition collects signatures; a printer folds sheets into signatures, the sections that become a book; a score marks its key and time signatures on the stave; and software matches virus signatures or method signatures. In a technical setting, read the plural in that field's sense rather than as a count of autographs.
