Printing or exporting a notebook with note grouped by tag

Hi there,

I have just finished making short notes on every verse in Hebrews. Each note has one or more tags.

Is there a way to print or export my "Hebrews" notebook with verses grouped by tag.

As an example, let's say that my Hebrews notebook has "Old Covenant" and "New Covenant" tags in some of its notes. How can I print/export my notebook so that all verses that have "Old Covenant" as a tag be printed together, and so also for "New Covenant," and by extension for each label?

    If you haven't tried it, Print/Export is crude.

    So you can select a Notebook from the Filters sidebar and then select a tag (see below). Then Print/Export.

    There is no guarantee that tags will be grouped.

    Thanks for the reply. The problem with your suggestion is that I will have to select each tag separately to print, and that will really take long.

    After not finding any functionality suitable for my needs, I had to do things the long way.

    1. I made a duplicate of my "Hebrews" notebook, and called it "Hebrews Tags."
    2. I converted each note in the "Hebrews Tags" notebook to contain the tags as text.
      1. Removed all additional anchors, except the verse anchor the note refers to.
      2. Deleted all the text of the note.
      3. Copied the text of the tags into the body of the note, one tag per line

    I did this for each note that had tags added at the bottom.

    Next, I exported the "Hebrews Tags" notebook to a normal text file.

    Before the export, it looked like the following in the preview:

    The exported text file looks as follows:

    Note the 3 dashes in the text. I deleted all lines with those dashes.

    Next, I slapped together a Python script that converted the way the text file had things set up. In the exported text file, it shows all tags per verse. The Python script changed the text file to show all verses that were tagged with the same tag as follows:

    You will note that the tags have been sorted alphabetically too.

    It would've been so nice if Logos Software could do this out of the box, since it is extremely simple to code.

    Bummer! I was hoping there was a way to do this. 

    I have thousands of notes all cross referenced by tags. When I tell it to group by tag it works on the screen, but when I try to print it... all it prints if the first note.  

    Hey LOGOS here is a new feature for the future...!!!
