Custom Reading Plan Help

Hi.

I must be doing something wrong (again!) but I am finding it to be incredibly difficult to create a custom reading plan.

Our church is entering into a season of prayer and fasting and we have a list of scriptures to meditate on each day.

I have the scriptures in a logos notes document but I cannot seem to create a reading plan from them.

As far as I can see, I can use a passage list or clippings document ... but these put each scripture onto a different day ... or I can type the references in directly ... but this is where it seems to be really frustrating ... unnecessarily so ... I have to enter each reference individually ... that makes so little sense that I thought I would ask here! How do I add multiple verses to a single day of a reading plan?

I have tried verses separated by commas, spaces, semi-colons and even the pipe character. Where the sotware can (in other parts) identify scriptures from a range of sources (e.g. whatever is on the clip board) ... I cannot get the reading plan to do so.

I think there is also a bug in the 'type scripture reference' process ... clicking on the link 'type scripture reference' seems to clear the clipboard! For example ... copy a reference ... click to type reference ... cannot paste; but try clicking the button first ... then copy ... then paste ... all is fine! ... again it is simply not making sense, and extremely frustrating when other parts of the same app seem to have the code for this to be powerfully implemented. ... Unless I am forgetting something obvious Embarrassed

Thanks.

Update: The clearing of the clipboard is not related to the order of the clicking ... it seems to be related to the way that logos is launching my bible.

All my scripture references are in a Logos note. They have all been recognised (turned blue!). When I highlight a particular reference and press the cmd-C key (not cmd-clicking, the text is already highlighted), my preferred bible is launched instead of copying the text. The bible then gets the focus (so that cmd-c again does not work) ...and my reference is not copied.

I cannot yet fathom in what circumstances simply pressing the cmd key on its own would launch the bible reference.

The phantom launching seems to be dependent on where the mouse cursor is after the reference is highlighted. If the mouse is still pointing at the reference then the cmd-key seems to launch the relevant bible ... it does not respect the copy key that was also pressed!

Additional question to my monologue (!)

The ical file produced have lots of entries similar to this:

X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<html><body><a href="logosref:BibleNIV.Ps51">Ps 51</a>, <a href="logosref:BibleNIV.1Jn1.9">1 John 1:9</a>, <a href="logosref:BibleNIV.Heb4.14-16">Heb 4:14–16</a></body></html>

What will these links do when used on a computer/phone/tablet that does not have Logos? Will they redirect to reftagger? or can I edit them to point to reftagger?

Thanks.
