Words of Christ in red
Like some other Aussies, I don’t like the words of Christ printed in red. Can I disable this in an individual Bible, such as the CSB, which I’m currently reading?

Yes it should be in the visual filter menu in the bible. It is a three circle icon when your bible is open

It may not be immediately apparent...
1 ) Select the filters icon
2 ) Turn on "Bible text only"
3 ) Turn OFF "Bible text formatting"
4 ) If you want the other formatting retained, including paragraph layout, Turn ON the remaining options except for "One verse per line"
Note: I don't have the CSB, but in the HCSB the verse numbers themselves are red (unlike ESV) and these aren't affected by this filter, so one still sees which verses WERE red. I would consider this a bug, but since I usually have red-letter turned on it doesn't really affect me.

I don't see the verse numbers in red in either CSB or HCSB - so you might want to check if you have a Visual Filter defined that is causing this

If (unlike your "individual Bible" request) you wish to turn of red-letter for all your bibles, this is best done in program settings. Using this method DOES result in the HCSB verse numbers turning black.

This was not due to a Visual Filter. Are you seeing black verse numbers when red-letter is on?

Sorry - I've checked again and I do see the red verse numbers.
I had missed a step - apologies for any confusion.

So have I missed something or is it that I simply don't understand?
My verse numbers seem to be black. Though if the verse starts in red (HCSB only not CSB) then the verse number is in red.

Those (in HCSB) are the ones we're referring to. They stay red when using the resource filter to turn off the red-letter text.

I would say that to let ANY verse numbers be red EVER is a pretty serious bug. In fact, it could be considered heresy! 🤪

Thanks Keith, Reuben, Mike and others for the quick replies. I can’t figure out how to get to program options from the Settings asterisk. All I see is Settings for Sidebar and content.
Also, at the moment, I’m not playing with a full deck, because my modem got fried on Saturday night in a storm.
I am learning things, because I didn’t even know I could use the program without the internet.
Thanks for your help

The settings you want in this case are resource-specific and accessed from the visual filter menu for the resource (the three circles) outlined below. Does this help?

Hope you are able to get things back to normal soon

I can confirm for HCSB (not CSB). Most probably the tags for "begin WoC" and for "begin bible verse" - "begin bible text" are in the wrong order, so the verse numbers are included. This is a resource bug.
Have joy in the Lord!

Thanks Graham. I was wondering how to access Program Settings in the earlier screenshot, which seemed to be on the right of the Settings asterisk, or maybe a submenu of Settings.

Thanks for this! I have spent a lot of money on this resource. I would like to learn more about using it, without spending extra money to do so!
i do enjoy using Logos.

Is there a Visual Filter for those Translations that do not have the words of Christ in Red? Or can I make one myself? And if so, what would be query for that? Thanks!

Hi Shane - and welcome to the forums
Shane Ball said:Or can I make one myself? And if so, what would be query for that?
The query would be {Speaker <Person Jesus>}
But this will only work for translations that have an associated Reverse Interlinear - as that is where the tagging is done

Thank you! I am trying to set this up for the NET 2nd Edition, which does not have the words of Christ in Red, but does have a reverse interlinear.
I tried the query string {Speaker <Person Jesus>}, but it doesn't seem to be working for me.

I must be doing something wrong? My Visual Filter Doc doesn't show up under Visual Filters list in the NET.

Strange - this is what I have
Can you post a similar screenshot (use the paperclip icon in the forum editor)?

Not sure of what I am doing wrong, but the Visual Filter doc doesn't even show up as a selection. Thanks for all your help & patience!

That would happen if it was set to use a resource (or set of resources) that doesn't include the resource you are using.
Are you able to post the screenshot? That could help track this down.

Okay, I finally got it to work by doing a search and pasting it into the visual filter doc. I must have had something wrong?
So, now my next question is can I do it for more than one translation (multiple translations)?

You could create a collection for the bibles you want to be red letter and then select that collection in the visual filter.

Ah, great idea! Thanks!

How/where can I get a list of Bibles that do Not have the words of Christ in Red?
Maybe my own Trial & Error?

Is a Visual Filter limited to only One Translation of the Bible?

That works great! Thanks again for the idea!
