BUG: Lectionary note files

fgh

 

1) Only one note file shows up.

2) The note file that does show up is on the NT; the visible texts are OT.

I should have investigated this a bit more before I wrote. Turns out it's much worse than I thought.

3) Notes can't be added to Bible reference.

4) Notes can't be added to Lectionary date.

The only thing I can add a note to is the secular date -- which is the only thing I'll never want to add a note to. Why would I? 

I knew, of course, by now, that Logos still hasn't gotten the difference between lectionary and a calendar devotional, but tries to force the former into the straightjacket of the latter, so I didn't really expect to be able to add a note to the liturgical date (though it's certainly a much needed improvement), but I definitely expected to be able to add a note to a Bible reference. The lectionary automatically shows up with the text taken from my preferred Bible, so there is clearly some under-the-hood linking going on. Logos knows this is Bible text. So why don't I get a Bible reference option when I right-click? Why don't the correct note files show up under the filter icon? It works fine in Synopses and Parallels, which are also resources that fetch the Bible text from elsewhere.

5) If I check that NT note file, select Annotation, and click on the little arrows to locate notes, the page doesn't move. And not because of the above reasons. It turns out I must have accidentally created a lectionary note about a week ago -- which is why that note file showed up under the filter icon -- so there is a note of the 'correct' type, and there is a note icon, but the arrows refuse to find it.

This causes the further problem that when I can't create the note in the lectionary, or look at the footnote, and have to open a Bible instead, then that Bible opens to the last place I was in, not to the Bible text in the Lectionary, like it normally would if I have one Bible text open and want to consult another. So not only do I have to go to the extra trouble of opening that Bible, I also have to go to the extra trouble of finding the reference manually (which isn't necessarily as easy as it sounds).

1, 2, 3) As you've noted, Bible references are not milestones in lectionary resources (so they don't appear as "Reference" items on the context menu, nor do notes appear for that reference). This is just like any other resource that cites a Bible reference (as opposed to having it as a navigation destination). I would imagine that this is by design; we generally only encode milestones when there is a unique destination, but each Bible reference occurs multiple times in this resource (e.g., Deut 26:16-19 occurs on nine different dates).

4) There isn't a data type for liturgical date. This has previously been suggested/discussed.

5) I can reproduce this bug.

The Lectionary contains hyperlinks you can click to open (your default) Bible to the right place.
