Sentence type for sentences not clauses

I tried to make a visual filter to reformat the scripture text by sentence rather than verse using sentence type. Great in theory but an utter flop as "sentence type" is actually "clause type" when one views it in a filter. Therefore, I suggest:

Faithlife build a dataset based on sentence type: fragment, simple, compound, complex, compound-complex that corresponds to the clause visualizations.
Faithlife add to the Bible text options a view by sentence that parallels by the view by verse but is built off the sentence data from above.
Yes, I know one can argue over sentence boundaries but as long as they are consistent, I'll not be picky over which sentence boundary theory Faithlife chooses.

    I'm very interested in this as a dataset. @mjespuiva-86 which clause visualizations are you referring to?

    @james-parks-15 It really doesn't matter to me which of the clause visualizations they align to ... simply that there is an alignment for verification purposes.
