When I do a Hebrew BWS the translation ring shows the LXX (SLM), and I can't find any 'Settings' to change it, should I want to. The LXX is the last of my prioritized Bibles, except for the Vulgate.
Hmm! I can't reproduce this. My BWS behaves as I would expect with Hebrew.
Here's mine:
The only difference I can see is the version to the right of TRANSLATION. SLM? (Mine is ESV)
Could that be the culprit? Is it your preferred Bible? When I type SLM in my Library nothing shows.

I really appreciate very much that you're trying to help, but please read the original post before doing so. It saves us both time. [:)]
As I said there, the LXX is the last of my prioritized Bibles, except for the Vulgate. It shouldn't be the one that shows up. And as I also said, the other part of the problem is that I can't change it. The Settings button doesn't appear.
Sorry, I missed the SLM in brackets. I take your point about prioritisation. I had noticed that but what is your preferred Bible on your Home Page?
See what Help says about it.
Might I suggest that you try removing LXX from your Priority List and see if that has any effect.
I have NAB on top both on the Home Page and in the prioritized list.
I tried removing the LXX. Now I get ESV in the ring, which is nowhere among my prioritized Bibles. I'm also suddenly getting 116 hits for qadosh instead of 114, like I got before. This is getting weirder and weirder!
Searching different morphologies of BHS produces different results.
BHS:WIVU 180 hits in 172 verses
BHS: WHM 112 hits in 107 verses
I have noticed similar variations in Greek NA27 searches according to different morphologies, so I suppose I shouldn't be too surprised when I find them in BHS.

Without digging very far into it (we have so many resources that even I can't keep track of them), my guess would be that the LXX was your highest priority Bible that has interlinear data associated with it. This isn't a feature of every Bible that we produce (imagine, if you will, the impossible task of trying to get The Message to align with the original text…). If one of your preferred Bibles has interlinear data, then we'll use that for the Bible word study; otherwise, we go to "factory defaults"—as the ESV was the first Bible to have interlinear data, it is the "default default" in many places.
As to the missing settings, its a feature that we haven't added to the Mac, yet.

Great catch! And to confirm it I moved LXX back and put NRSV on top of NRSVCE, and, yes, the ring is then made with NRSV.
I guess that makes sense. Though, unfortunately, what you're saying is that when I buy my Swedish Bibles -- which I intended to do later this week -- I still won't get any Swedish translation ring. Too bad.
And it's very disappointing that it should take 2,5 weeks (my first post on this was the 9th), and at least 3-4 hours active work before I finally get an answer to something that has such a simple answer. If it was once, that would be one thing, but it's all the time. I spend at least 10 times more time on the Wiki and on the forums, than I do on the program itself. After more than one month I still haven't managed to spend more than 5 minutes in a row on Logos, not more than 30 minutes in one day, and not one single minute all together of actual work. Every 30 seconds to 5 minutes I have to leave to spend the next hour searching for the answer to something. That's not how a program should work!
If there's some Wiki specialist with time over reading this, please add these two things to the Wiki (that it has to be an Interlinear, and that the Settings button is missing in Mac). I don't think it's there. Even Rosie didn't know.
Yes, but this was a BWS, not a Bible search, and
Wiki page Tech Stuff http://wiki.logos.com/Visual_Table_of_Contents#Trouble_shooting.2c_FAQs.2c_.26_Tech_stuff has formatting examples - good information for becoming a Wiki specialist.
