verse by verse grammars in exegetical guide

In Logos 3, the exegetical guide grouped the grammar information (in my case I am studying Hebrew, so this would be links to WOC, Juoun, and the base grammars) and the Word by Word definitions together by verse. I liked this layout because I could study one verse, then reference any selections in the grammar books that referenced the verse.

I was hoping that this would be the case also in Logos 4, but it appears not to be. For example, if I choose to study Genesis 12, the grammar information for all verses in chapter 12 is grouped together, the Word by Word info for all verses in chapter 12 is grouped together, and the Commentary (I purchased a Word Biblical Commentary for Genesis) is listed but not associated with a verse.

This makes it difficult to study verse-by-verse like I was accustomed to doing in Logos 3. I can not tell which grammar reference is associated with which verse (unless I click the link and open the reference). I was also disappointed that the Word Biblical Commentary is not linked to each verse.

Am I mistaken? Is there a way to revert to the Logos 3 display--group all information by verse rather than content?

Thank-you!

Is there a way to revert to the Logos 3 display--group all information by verse rather than content?

Unfortunately no, there isn't. I think you bring up a very valid point and one that definitely impacts user-friendliness. With the current set-up I am not sure how Logos could provide for the functionality you would like.

I would suggest you post this as a suggestion in the Suggestion section of the forum. I, too, liked the old way this was done.

I get around this by simply linking the EG to my bible and not the PG. If by accident a pericope gets in the mix, I just go to the EG and type in the bible verse and go on. That way you get grammars and word by word tied to a verse and not a pericope.

I do agree that the change is not necessarily better for getting to the grammars.

Thank-you for your responses. I have been linking my BHS (Visual filters -> Links to Open Panels) to the Exegetical Guide to have the grammars tied by verse. Not as ideal as it was in Logos 3, but acceptable. I will put this into the suggestion forum.
