Problem with plural="contextual"
I am having a problem with the McGill Guide style and I am pretty sure it's in Zotero and not the style itself.
When a citation includes a particular locator that is plural (e.g. paragraphs 1-5), it does not appear as plural (paragraph 1-5).
The McGill CSL validates, and adding plural="contextual" to the code in the appropriate place using the test pane doesn't solve the problem...

while paragraph 75-77 of a resolution would look like

You would say: "For the relevant sections, consider paragraph 3-5 of the text" and typically not "...consider paragraphs 3-5 of the text".
If you check other locators - e.g. "part" you get the plural form in McGill. If this is incorrect for McGill style, it is easy to fix in the terms section of the style.
If you think that paragraphs should be the multiple form for the locator across the board provide some evidence from other styles and we can change this in the locale file itself.
Looks like Zotero/citeproc work correctly here.
