BUG/SUGGESTION: Additional psalms list - a companion to the interactive Psalm explorer
I want to make a passage list of the Psalms not included in the Psalm Explorer Interactive including:
- Ps 151
- the Psalms in Chronicles
- Ps 152-155
- Psalms of Solomon
- Psalms of the Dead Sea Scrolls
- etc. as I identify them
However, I am having trouble determining what verse mapping applies to them for referencing or even which ones have assigned verse mapping.
If the Passage Guide is limited to Bible references that are included in our personal collection, then we need a number of additional Bibles.
However, when I find a version in my library, I know no easy way to determine the appropriate mapping - the verse mapping needs to be more visible - mouse over, right click. ...
It would also be useful to be able to use the passage guide on any material likely to be indexed by reference in the back of a resource ... and easy way of saying anything with standard references recognized by scholars.

The resource information ("i" in a circle on the resource toolbar) lists all of the data types used as milestones in the "Indexes" section. So, let's say you find Ps 151 in Rahlf's Septuagint, you can hit the "i" to see "Bible LXX-R" is the data type.
You can also right-click on the first verse, then choose the milestone from the right-hand side of the context menu, and choose Search > This Resource. The automatically created search query will show the data type name and the reference for that selection, for example, <BibleLXX = Odes 1>.
You can then turn around and plug that into a Milestone search of your whole library to find other locations that are co-equal with it:
{Milestone <BibleLXX = Odes 1>}
So, I used these tricks to figure out ...
- Ps 151 is either tagged "Add Ps" (as the NRSV) or "Ps 151", so a search for {Milestone <BibleLXX = Ps 151>} would turn them up.
- The Psalms in Chronicles are probably tagged as "Prayer of Manasseh" or "Odes N"
- I found some references to Ps 155 with <DSSSE = 11Q5>.
- Looks like the Leiden Peshitta includes Pss 151-155 under "Apocryphal Psalms 1-5", so <BiblePESH2 = Apocryphal Psalms 1>

I also just confirmed that a search for
{Milestone <BibleLXX = Ps 151>}
Will also match the equivalent milestone "Apocryphal Psalms 1" in the Leiden Peshitta. I'm sure we don't have every data type equivalence mapped out, or every possible equivalent milestone in every possible book, but we probably have some.

Thanks for the info. Its easier than my "method"

Also: I've added an issue to expand coverage of the Psalms explorer into these "additional" Psalms.
