    With John's script, you should be able to go to Automator.app, create a new application and just make it:

    do script "-E 's/^([A-Za-z0-9]+).? :([0-9]+) /[[@Bible:\1 \2:\3]] \3 {{field-on:Bible}}\4{{field-off:Bible}}/' input_file.txt > output_file.txt"

    Just plug in your input file and output file names and it should make an icon that you can click and automatically create a new version for personal books. I think it will be faster than going through LibreOffice, but I can't test it without your Bible file.

    Wow! This has been a very useful thread. I am bookmarking this because there are some nuggets that I can use to improve the PBB that I build every year for the Church of England lectionary. I love this community!

    Hi @Justin Gatlin ,

    Thank you very much for your help. I really appreciate it! I have been talking to Fabian, and after giving a lot of consideration, I am going to hold off on the PB, as it is just too disruptive to my class compared to the Accordance User Bible. Perhaps in the future when my translation is more stable (as in, not a complete work in progress), I would likely do the PB option as it is a very powerful feature. It is just not practical for the specific uses I have for my text at the moment. Hopefully Accordance will be around far longer than I will need it, but if need be, I think my best bet is just putting my text as a PDF on one side of my screen and Logos on the other. Obviously not ideal. Thank you again, and like @Donovan R. Palmer , I of course am bookmarking this thread also. :)
