Anchoring a drifting Bible study

I may start a passage study with a selected verse and several resources linked to each other with the same link set. Opening linked resources one after another in the same link set causes drifting from the intended study location.

For example starting with 2 Peter 2:4 then when I open the next linked resource it goes to 2 Peter 2:1–10a, then to Matthew 5:1 and then to Matthew 4:17–5:20, then to Luke 24 and so on, pretty wild Angry

Is there any way to anchor the first resource so that when I open the resources sequentially so that they all attempt to link to the nearest milestone corresponding that first anchored resource?

Muliview allows additional resource(s) to follow primary.

Multiview is included in Logos 7 Starter Feature Set and Verbum 7 Starter Feature Set

Another option is Logos Cloud subscription.

Personally have Logos Now membership that includes Multiview.

Thanks ks4j! I actually use multiview where feasible, but I have two screens and if I want to go through resources one by one, I use the linked resources approach.

I feel it would not be difficult to implement the anchor. Currently I copy the first reference and paste it again and again when needed and it is not a big deal, but I feel that a smarter solution is desirable. 70 years ago when computers were invented, the inventors thought that computers will make the life easier, but we humans find new ways to burden ourselves with computers. I am not sure whether there is an end to the user interface wish list for the Bible software users [:)]

Another option is using + to open New Tab, which has selection list on right side (avoids link set location changing when opening resource one by one). Also can use arrow keys to open next (or previous) parallel resource (if tab is linked, location can change for link set).

OK, good ideas, I'll try also them.

But it still needs manual work [:(] (non-smile, sorry). If I had access to the source code, I would just make the anchor [:)] (smiling, not sorry)

Thousand thanks, ks4j!

I added votes.

Last time when I was trying to vote for something there, I was out of votes.

Now I can smile! [:)]

Please remain smiling, but let me burst your bubble.

Bellingham HQ has 8 inviable commands (not commandments). We know of 3; the other 5 may well have to do with Bob's highly regarded book.

1. No manuals. Extremely well written help files are fine.

2. No colors. Except: Blue. Grey. After the Libby 'red' disaster, this command can not even be discussed without severe consequences. Bob's book.

3. No master sync for panels. No. No. No. And if anyone asks, say it'll just confuse people, especially with more than 1 window.

Not sure how you missed this one, Denise. [;)]

Indeed, I missed it. I knew tables weren't allowed in the PBs. So on my notes export, my in-note tables are exported, with a skipover for Logos PBs. I had no idea it was command #4!

Although, not even sermons?? I don't know a single pastor that doesn't have his favorite tables/charts.

Actually these do work now ... best when using "fit to" rather than fixed width.

Well, well!

Then I remembered my tables use background colors to show the syntactic age estimate of the verse segment. I don't think they do colors.

I don't think they do colors.

That's probably it.
