Just wondering, do you use separate notebooks for each book of the Bible or do you use just one notebook for all of your study notes? I have used separate notebooks and that may be the best method but I also see value in having all your notes in one notebook. What are your thoughts?

    I use different notebooks for different topics, subjects, etc.

    That way I can, for example, better organize my notes within the notes tool, add notes right to specific notebook via right click context menu in a Bible, and it allows me to turn certain notebooks on or off via visual filters settings and have only notes pertaining to what I am currently working on displayed in a Bible.

    It's really a matter of preference (and how many notes you take, and how you like to organize them, etc.).

    I tend to prefer separate notebooks simply for the convenience of being able to turn them on and off, depending on what I'm doing at the time. But really, it comes down to whatever creates buoyancy in your watercraft.

    I create notebooks by topics as I find a topic in the bible might transpose many different books of the bible.  For example, I have notebooks on:

    Church and Kingdom

    Church Leaders

    Salvation

    Holy Spirit

    Marriage - Divorce

    etc.

    I created almost all of my notebooks in L3, and I originally had only one, but started to notice some severe slowdowns in my text input, pop-up response, etc. After noticing that, I began to create more notebooks to reduce the size of the files. Most of my notes (99%) are in my NASB95, so I created 3 notebooks for Hebrew (T-N-K) and 3 for Greek (G-A-P). Fwiw, I don't notice as much slowdown in the current versions of the software as I used to with L3. I'm sure that is partly because my current system is massively faster than my older laptops, but also, L3 had some internal limitations. How you choose to set up your notes is a very personal decision based on how you approach study with the program. I have a few topical notes, but not many.
