One Verse Per Line?
I looked at the wiki tonight to try and find a way to have my favorite Bibles only show one verse per line instead of paragraphs. The closest thing that I found was a request for it and saw that Bradley had made a note saying that "Bible Text Only" had been added to the visual filter as if it was a solution. While it does make it one verse per line it strips the footnotes. Is there any way to get a one verse per line format without stripping the footnotes?
Thanks.

Rick, i'm not familiar with the sources you are using but I would suggest that the request be placed in that context or you provide some references in this thread and change the title to a Suggestion (Sugg: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx).

I don't believe so - however, some Bibles are not in paragraph form to start with so they naturally fall into by verse format. What translation are you trying to get into this format?

Hi Dave, actually, I'm not sure if it is a suggestion or if I am missing a setting. I have a tendency to miss the obvious a lot of times!
An example of what I am wondering would be the NET Bible. By default, it's reading pane is in paragraph mode with several textual and scripture notes. If I use the visual filter to turn on "Bible text only" it goes from paragraph mode to one verse per line like I would like it to, however, the note indicators are gone. I was hoping that someone knew of another setting somewhere that I had missed that would allow me to go to one verse per line without losing the notes.

OOps, I was replying to Dave as you posted [:D]
I was hoping to do this with NET and NLT. I have discovered that the NASB, which I use for inductive study is formatted in the one verse style. It just makes it easier for my weak eyes to see.

Yep ... BibleTextOnly get rids of all those pesky notes, references and so forth. On the greek text, it wipes the slate clean of all those nasty apparatus markings. Pretty nifty. So basically, the deal is to squint, trying to find the verse-starts, watching the verses bounce back and forth as you move one resource forward/backward, or neaten everything up (of course eliminating why you got the resources in the first place). I know this sounds a bit negative, but I view the problem as a fun challenge, noting how many linked resources out-of-alignment it's possible to achieve (so far my record is 4 verses). Given how long the problem has been around, I'd assume the Logos users at Logos have kind of decided to just 'live with it'. I still think a lead resource, along with a true left-justifying versification option would do wonders for Bible study.

To help your weak eyes see the text better, you have a couple of options:
1) You can increase the font size, either by increasing the Program Scaling to 110% or more in Tools > Program Settings, or by dragging the font size slider for a particular resource panel to change just that one:
2) Or you can use Copy Bible Verses to copy the passage you're studying and paste into Word (or wherever). CBV has various styles you can choose from the dropdown, and you can create custom ones too if none of the built-in ones suit you. One of the built-in ones is "One verse per line":
If that's almost perfect for you but you want to tweak it a bit (e.g., to retain the character formatting and red letter text which are omitted in the built-in style), then right click on it and select Edit Style. It will actually make a copy of the built-in style, which you can edit. You can't change the built-in styles. For documentation on the codes in the style definition, see http://wiki.logos.com/Copy_Bible_Verses.
NOTE: This isn't meant to imply that Logos shouldn't still add an option to show Bible text on-screen with one verse per line; even with all those formatting options that are available in CBV. Just a way for you to work around it in the meantime without that functionality available.

Thank you all for your suggestions/help and confirmation that I was not missing the obvious (again) [Y]

Rosie,
In Logos 6 there is the option to show "Non-Bible text".
I am able to enable both "one verse per line" and "non-Bible text" and in both the NASB and the ESV translations both work as expected,
however, for a personal book (Ukrainian Bible), whenever "one verse per line" is enabled, the "non-Bible text" has no effect.
This seems to be bug. Any suggestions?

Hi Vadim
This is a very old thread on a forum lots of people don't read any more.
Please repost in the Logos 6 forum - https://community.logos.com/forums/124.aspx
