Support One Verse Per Line view

I’ve had logos Bible software since I was a freshman in college, (6 years ago) and I have seen logos transform from what it was to what it is now. The app is much more user friendly and as someone who teaches regularly for my church’s youth group, and also fills in for my pastor to teach on Sunday mornings, I constantly find myself using logos as a tool to prepare for studies. I have come to an idea that I think would make using the app much more productive for Bible teachers like myself.
The NASB Bible translation has the text start at the left column with its verse number, whereas the NKJV and the ESV do not. I’m sure there is a reason for this, but if there were a button where I could toggle the difference of views, but keep the translation, it would help astronomically. It would grant me the ability to use the app while I teach, and to simply have my eyes drop down to the verse number instead of searching for it within the paragraph would add great ease as I teach.

In this ESV, tap the ⋮ menu, choose View Settings, then turn Bible Text Only on, and also One Verse Per Line.
To switch the NASB out of one-verse-per-line formatting, you will need to install the separate "Paragraph Version": https://www.logos.com/product/145179/the-new-american-standard-bible-1995-update
Once you own that, you can use the "One Verse Per Line" setting to convert it from paragraphs to verses (or just use the existing NASB95 resource).0 -
@Bradley Grainger This setting does not produce optimal results in the case of the NKJV version. Try it with a chapter that has prose and poetic sections or quotes mixed in. ie. Heb 1
In my opinion, the right way to handle this problem is what Logos did with the NASB95. There are 2 actual copies available. One is verse by verse and the other is paragraph style. Both are very-well formatted. I especially like the fact that neither of them use drop caps for chapter numbers.
I'd love to see the same solution for every single Bible translation but especially the NKJV which is my personal favorite.0
