Step to next/previous-Article should step by Pericope in Bibles

The step to next/previous feature is great. For Bibles, the Article selection should step by pericope instead of chapters. Chapters is already a selection possibility.

The article option steps by pericope in the Bibles that have them. It would be nice to have the submenu note this.

Thanks for the info. All of the following bibles have pericope titles. Only three jump by pericope. So it is more of a bible formatting issue than a software issue. Hopefully more bibles are formatted to take advantage of the feature!
ESV & ESV-CE - jumps by chapter
RSV2CE - jumps by chapter
NLT - jumps by chapter
NABRE - jumps by chapter
NIV - jumps by chapter
CSB - jumps by chapter
NASB95 - jumps by chapter
NET & NET2e - jumps by pericope
NRSV-CE - jumps by pericope0 -

I checked a couple of the Bibles he indicated (which have pericopes); even when you set the parameter to Article, it steps to the next Chapter, unlike the NRSV-CE which correctly steps to the next pericope.

Can you give me your examples to test? Any that do not jump by pericope should be reported as a bug.

Mr. Smith. Just do exactly what I did.
1) Choose a bible
2) Make sure "Step to next/previous" is set to Article
3) Hit the up and down arrows and observe what happensI gave you the results from 11 different bibles already. The data speaks for itself.
1) The feature does work as advertised (stepping to pericopes when available)
2) Only a few bibles are formatted properly to take advantage of this feature(I just checked again as some bibles were recently update. Interestingly, NRSV doesn't jump to pericope, but NRSV-CE does!)
PS: Thanks for the interest!

MJ (she) has already written up a bug report for this. I’m using my phone right now and I won’t trouble myself to look for the link to post here.
ETA: I'm back on my laptop; here is her post:

The NRSV does jump by pericope for me which is why I thought you had the unit of step set incorrectly.
