How to add author translation to Passage Guide

Dan Phillips

It is frustrating that some commentaries (e.g. Allen Ross on Psalms, etc.) are published in Logos in two volumes, one the commentary and one the translation. So the Passage Guide commentary sections only brings up the commentary volume, not the translation. Logos has the Type of the translation volume as Bible, so it doesn't show up. This affects many volumes of author translation, such as by Jay Adams, Charles Ellicott, Garrett, and others.

So I had a brilliant solution. I'd make a collection of them, use the Bible section of Passage Guide, and stick that in.

Except there is no Bible or Translation section of Passage or Exegetical Guide!

So I just stuck in my collection using the Collections section.

But that doesn't work, since it doesn't see them as Bibles. It won't bring them up for their passages.

My goal is that when I send Passage Guide to, say, Psalm 4:1, some section brings up Ross' translation of that passage. And when I send it to Proverbs 4:1, it brings up Jay Adams'. And when I send it to 1 Timothy 4:1, it brings up Ellicott's. And so forth.

Suggestions that work?

I don't know of a workaround.  I think MJ has a feedbear in on the whole subject of commentary (or other) translations and easy access to.  Your post would certainly be an obvious case.

The problem about commentary volumes is similar in Multiview (but just the opposite). In the example, below, there's a mix of translations, apparatus, and commentary, when one selects the commentary for inclusion. No one to calm it down.
