My pleasure.
LSB Translation Notes Available As In-Line Notes in your Bible!
The Master’s Seminary has announced that The Tyndale Center’s translation team, which oversaw the Legacy Standard Bible (LSB) Translation, is releasing translation notes for all 66 books of the Bible! As of now they have released Matthew-Romans. https://tyndale.tms.edu/
I have been compiling these notes into a Notebook Document and have decided to share them (inspired by what Wesley W. Weber Jr. did with the Westminster Confession of Faith).
To add this Notebook to your own documents: Select the Documents icon in the sidebar...select "Public"...search for "LSB Translation"...select "Add to your docs".
I will continue updating this document as The Tyndale Center releases additional books of the Bible.
Comments
I got a copy of this. Thank you.
Did you intentionally anchor it to the LSB instead of the verses themselves? Just wondering. If so, I will buy the LSB and try it.
Also, thank you for using Red 4-prong stars. . I am using yellow stars for the Westminster Shorter (in process), and another color when I do the Larger.
Blessings!
Wes.
Another quick comment on the notes:
When using dark mode (using dark mode can extend your laptop battery usage by ~10%), the text links are kind of hard to see. It is fine, they are still visible... but the color of the link is different than what the Westminster Confession In Line Notes defaulted to (see attached image).
Blessings, and thanks again for this. I got a copy of the LSB.
Interesting. These are how my links look in dark mode.
Now, when I look at the same note, it is working... notice how hovering over the verse, Logos is now linking the verse to my ESV.
But for Mark 15:35, it is linking the text link to biblia.com. It looks like when it detects an external link it is black, but if it links to a resource it is the light blue color. See attached.

Aaron, any idea what the Tyndale Center's translation team has in mind for these translation notes? I wonder if they would eventually monetize them, and release them onto Logos for purchase (as they did the LSB version) since they have the contents protected on their website under the heading:
Copyright © 2023 The Tyndale Center at The Master's Seminary. All rights reserved.
Unlike the Confession (which has long been in the public domain) these translation notes seem to be proprietary. I could be mistaken, but, if you haven't, it might be worth reaching out to them and letting them know that they are now available on Logos apart from the seminary's website.
Hopefully, they would be delighted, as there is a wealth of info in them.
Just a thought, and I appreciate the work you are doing here.

I would advise to contact them seeking permission to do this- it may prevent any problems for you personally, and harm their relationship with Logos, just saying.
I have numerous PBB and Notebook study guides, with material that I received personal permission to create Logos material out of- but no privilege to distribute.

Yes agreed. I reached out just a bit ago.
Good idea. Ask for grace and forgivness if needed.
I did not ask for grace and forgiveness but I did inform them that I have shared my compilation of their freely offered Translation Notes to Logos users....and have offered to take the notes document down if they wish for me to do so. I have not heard back from them yet.

Hopefully their response will be positive and you can continue.
Aaron - thank you so much for putting this file together and sharing it. After years of using the ESV as my default Bible, I decided to give the LSB a go. Being a fan of the literal style of the NASB95, this update is of interest to me and the translation notes are a huge bonus. For that matter, one of the things that makes the NET one of my top Bibles as well is the translation notes, so this is a huge value add that you have created here.

I have benefited from using it and am encouraged to hear that others are finding it useful as well.
I followed the instructions outlined in your initial post and because I elected to have my updates on manual I restarted Logos and waited for it to index each time I did this there were downloads to be added. I tried several times and looked to see if the notebook was added to my documents and it was not there.I'm having trouble adding the document (Notebook). Does it work for Macs?
Yes I have a Mac and it is working just fine. Can you provide more details as to the issue that you are having?

In my testing I discovered that there appears to be a software glitch that happens when you add a public document to your docs...then delete it...then try to add it back...it doesn't show in your documents for some reason. I have found that by disconnecting and reconnecting as described in my post above...that seems to fix it.
Thanks! Now, having read the entire thread; I hope there is no issue with rights going forward.[:(]In my testing I discovered that there appears to be a software glitch that happens when you add a public document to your docs...then delete it...then try to add it back...it doesn't show in your documents for some reason.

Yep, this happened to me also, and I corrected it exactly the same way.
Translation notes have been added for 1 & 2 Corinthians. I have also gone through and fixed any reference links that were not working properly.
I have repeatedly followed up with The Master's Seminary and The Tyndale Center regarding my request for official permission to share my compilation of their translation notes with Logos users and have only heard back from them as follows, "someone from The Tyndale Center will be reaching out to you shortly."
My source for compiling these translation notes can be found here.
Aaron,
I don't have the LSB and all of the notes are linking to it. I noted that Wesley Weber seems to have been able to get it to link to the ESV. Any thoughts?
Thanks
Chris
Yes. This is working as intended. The LSB translation notes will show up as in-line notes for your Bible of choice...even if it is not the LSB.
There is still something not working for me.
I've set it up so that the only Visual Filter showing is the LSB Translation Notes:
I've got the ESV open to Matt 8:2 where I know there is a note about the word "Behold" but the notes are not "syncing":
I scrolled through the Notes to the one on Mt 8:2 and this is what I see:
Any thoughts or actions you'd recommend?
Chris
My guess is that you do indeed need the LSB AND its RI.

After connecting to the notes, it took my software about 10 minutes for the "LSB Translation Notes" to show up in the VF list. So if you aren't seeing yours right after copying/connecting, give it some time...it is probably a matter of a slow sync.

Others seem to have got it work without the LSB or RI
