Fix paragraph style for Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

In narrative portions of the LSB, there is no difference between enabling and disabling the [One verse per line] visual filter.

It would be nice if the default (filter disabled) was paragraph style like most other resources, and then the filter could be used as intended to enable the verse-by-verse / one verse per line option.

At the moment it essentially impossible to disable that visual filter since the default layout is nearly identical. As you can see in the screenshots I've attached, there is very little difference in the text I included below the visual filter menu.

The same is true for the NASB '95, but I'm more interested in the LSB since it was just released.

I believe that this is standard for Bibles that are in one verse per line format in the printed edition. I suspect that publisher's permission would be required to change this.

I reached out to 316 Publishing requesting a paragraph edition of LSB for Logos and they said Logos should have everything they need for this. Logos should either add a separate paragraph version (like they did with NASB '95) or fix the formatting of the regular LSB to be paragraph style by default like most other websites and apps.

@Trey Watson Hey Trey! I was the one who got Lockman to reach out to Logos about the NASB paragraph version. I would have 316 tell Logos they would like a paragraph version too.

Got my vote!

Tim Lee

I vote yes to this as well. The paragraph style format is the normal LSB format, at least it is for the several print versions we own.

It would be welcome to be able to have the LSB formatting standardized to enable rotating through translations in the common paragraph format.

The problem still hasn't been fixed after nearly three years…

I can confirm, this is not an issue on the Legacy Standard Bible's / publisher's side, but an issue with Logos. From LSB:

"We have provided the necessary files to Logos and placed no limitations on the use of the files. We will reach out to them again and request the LSB be made available in paragraph format."

Logos administrators, what can we do to help facilitate this correction? Thank you!

Really Logos? We pay a lot of money for this software, why is this taking so long?

Pastor Loren

Come on Logos - you have had the ability to do this for OVER 3 years now, yet you don't simply enable this type of formatting after so many have done the leg work for you! I have been using Logos for over 20 years now and have spent a lot of money on this platform (and love it by the way), but something like this is getting very frustrating! Please address this!

Do you know if they have the right to do it? They are likely confined to the format the publisher delivered unless explicitly given the rights to reformat it.

Stated without attribution which would verify actual legal knowledge. It appears the paragraphs are noted by bold verse numbers - a convention I've seen elsewhere.
