Bible Reading Plan with Very Specific Daily Readings

I think you would have to use a fully Custom Reading Plan and input the ranges for every session (from Docs > New > Reading Plan).

This would work, but require very much manual input (a thousand references). If the actual readings/references are available electronically, there should be a way to save this time. 

I can think of two ways to make this faster, but haven't tested those:

• build a CSV for the plan in Excel, like the old sample files (rather: copy paste samples) for all kind of weird Reading Plans in the wiki. They accommodate multiple readings per day. It's maybe a bit cumbersome to find the exact syntax, but should work very well.
• alternatively, if you want to go Logos, build one plan for every column and then merge the plans. Here's the trick (and I know this part works because I regularly build a fully Custom Reading Plan that has one reading per day): Custom Reading Plans accept "Add from Passage List" as input. A Passage List of 365 entries will build out a complete Reading Plan - one reading per day - with one click. And you can build a Passage list from the clipboard, so if you have the reading plan in a table where you can select the column, it's a piece of cake. Subsequently, you should be able to merge the column-specific Reading Plans into one.

Is there any technical reference guide to the syntax used for creating passage lists?

Maybe some other can point you forward, or you may want to look up the information on complex reading plans in the wiki. I just want to point out that the contents of a Reading Plan are not normally referred to as Passage Lists, those being a type of Logos Documents in themselves. Just in case you misunderstood my second bullet.  

Michael I happened to come across this thread where someone was doing something similar, in short he had each daily reading in a separate column (NT and OT), and he created two reading plans and merged them. I wonder if something like this would work for you?

Very useful, but it can work with only one reading plan for Michael:

1. Create a Passage List for all the First Reading ==> as in the original post
2. Create a Passage List for all the Second Reading  ==> as in the original post
3. Create a Passage List for all the Psalm / Proverbs ==> as in the original post
4. Choose Docs-->Reading Plan-->Custom Reading Plan
5. Name the Plan something like "Fr. Mike Schmitz Plan"
6. Leave the starting date as today, or choose another date for Day 1 of the readings.
7. Adjust the reading session date to Day 1 of the readings.
8. Click Add, "...passage list" and choose the First Reading list from #1.
9. Adjust the reading session date to Day 6 of the readings
10. Click Add, "...passage list" and choose the Second Reading list from #2.
11. Adjust the reading session date back to Day 1 of the readings
12. Click Add, "...passage list" and choose the Psalm / Proverbs list from #3.
13. Click Done

Now you can follow this Plan in your preferred Bible.

Thanks Dave - but no answer to the "days without a second reading" issue I guess?

That's where you enter the Passage List for the Second Reading by adjusting the reading session date to Day 6 instead of Day 1 (I'm assuming that only the first five days are without this second reading).

If you want more control over the number of readings per Day (or session) and want to introduce breaks, you will have to enter the passages manually:

• use Type in a reference to enter all the passages for Day 1 (one at a time as multiple passages are not recognised)
• click Add Session
• use Type in a reference to enter all the passages for Day 2 (one at a time)
• click Add Session
• repeat for Day 3, Day 4, Day 5, etc.
• adjust the reading session date when you want a break
• e.g. after 5 weekday sessions, skip 2 days
• if you make a mistake:
• hover over the entered session and click the x with red background to remove it.
• adjust the reading session date to the date of the session you removed
• re-enter the passages
• click Add Session

It's laborious, but you get breaks and mistakes can be fixed.

Subsequently, you should be able to merge the column-specific Reading Plans into one.

Seems this is not true. When adding from another Reading Plan, Logos did not respect existing dates in that plan, but just put the readings behind the last entry, like it does with a passage list. This is either a bug, or a feature that hasn't been designed to the end.

I was able to combine your reading plans:

1. Create a Custom Reading Plan
2. Set the Read starting and reading session dates to Jan 1, 2021 (Day 1 of the Plan)
3. Add... First Reading plan
4. Set the reading session date to Jan 6, 2021 (Day 6 of the Plan)
5. Add... Second Reading plan
6. Set the reading session date back to Jan 1 (Day 1 of the Plan)
7. Add... Third Reading plan

See 365 Day Combined Reading Plan in your Docs > Public section.

However, the Plan could have been built in a similar manner from the Passage Lists

1. Create a Custom Reading Plan
2. Set the Read starting and reading session dates to Jan 1, 2021 (Day 1 of the Plan)
3. Add... First Reading List
4. Set the reading session date to Jan 6, 2021 (Day 6)
5. Add... the first of the Second Reading Lists
6. Set the reading session date to Mar 30, 2021 (Day 89)  ==> get the date from alignment with the First Reading passage
7. Add... the second of the Second Reading Lists
8. Set the reading session date to Apr 30, 2021 (Day 120)
9. Add... the third of the Second Reading Lists
10. ...
11. ...
12. ...
13. Add... the sixth (and last) of the Second Reading Lists
14. Set the reading session date back to Jan 1 (Day 1 of the Plan)
15. Add... Third Reading List
