adding notes across Bibles

Larry Craig

Whenever I read the Bible, I have three columns open, LXX, English, Hebrew, Greek NT, Vulgate, depending on what I'm reading.  If I put a note on a word, it puts it on all my Bibles.  If I highlight a verse, it goes on all my Bibles.  If I put a note on a verse number, it doesn't.  It only goes on the one Bible I put it on.

Why?  Can I get it to do all my Bibles at once?

It works with Bibles that have a reverse-interlinear via the Corresponding option of Notes and Highlights in the resource's Visual filters menu. Only selected bible words have a correspondence across these bibles, via the underlying Greek or Hebrew words.

Whilst verse numbers are common, they aren't bible text. Same as pericope text.

So you're saying that if I put notes on Bible verses,  Logos can't put that across other Bibles?  That sounds fixable to me, and I think they should.  I can put that on my wish list for Logos 9 then, huh?

Thank you for helping.

There are two ways of creating these kinds of notes:

1. Note by "selection." 
2. Note by "reference." 

Not too long ago, notes by "selection" were by definition only available in the specific resource which the note was taken. The reason for this is because the note was attached to the SELECTION. The specific character or characters SELECTED in the given resource. The ability to see notes of "selection" in other resources was made possible by some Logos magic. If the note taken by reference was in a resource with a reverse interlinear, then Logos could use the reverse interlinear from another resource to seemingly duplicate the note in the first resource. The ability to see these notes absolutely requires reverse interlinears on both resources. If you have a bible without a reverse interlinear, you WILL NOT see the note (or highlight). To control the ability to see these notes you toggle the "corresponding notes & highlights" visual filter. 

If you wanted to see a note across translations prior to the "corresponding notes & highlights" feature, then you would create a note BY REFERENCE. The note was not tied to any characters, words, or phrases. It was tied to the reference. ANY AND EVERY "versified resource" (including commentaries) would see the note. 

When you "select" the verse number and add a note, you are creating a note "by selection." The note is tied to the character(s) selected, There is no reverse interlinear information for your selection. Therefore you WILL NOT see it in any other translation. Instead of selecting the verse number, you should create a note by "reference." By doing so, the note will be available in any and all "versified" resources. 

Does that explain the issue?

ah ha!

I could select the entire verse and get the same result as if I just clicked on the number, except now it extends to the other versions.

Thank you very much.
