User Bible Import Option for Contracted Verses

[Fabian]

Hello

 

I would love to have a feature to import a User Bible with contracted verses as the Living Bible has. 

 

Thanks

These Bibles are very difficult for our professional staff to do accurately. A fool-proof method for the public is probably never going to happen.

I simply would love if Accordance would combine it by the import. 

 

I thought like this. Only a function sample. 

 

Source file:

 

Gen 1,1 In the beginning God created heaven and earth.

Gen 1,2 Now the earth was a formless void, there was darkness over the deep, with a divine wind sweeping over the waters.

Gen 1,3 ¶ God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light. God saw that light was good, and God divided light from darkness.

Gen 1,4 

Gen 1,5 God called light ‘day’, and darkness he called ‘night’. Evening came and morning came: the first day.

Gen 1,6 ¶ God said, ‘Let there be a vault through the middle of the waters to divide the waters in two.’ And so it was.

Gen 1,7 God made the vault, and it divided the waters under the vault from the waters above the vault.

Gen 1,8 God called the vault ‘heaven’. Evening came and morning came: the second day.

 

In this case the contracted is in Gen 1:3. So by leaving the Gen 1:4 empty Accordance would recognize the a contraction. 

 

After the import:

 

Gen 1,1 In the beginning God created heaven and earth.

Gen 1,2 Now the earth was a formless void, there was darkness over the deep, with a divine wind sweeping over the waters.

Gen 1,3 ¶ God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light. God saw that light was good, and God divided light from darkness.

Gen 1,5 God called light ‘day’, and darkness he called ‘night’. Evening came and morning came: the first day.

Gen 1,6 ¶ God said, ‘Let there be a vault through the middle of the waters to divide the waters in two.’ And so it was.

Gen 1,7 God made the vault, and it divided the waters under the vault from the waters above the vault.

Gen 1,8 God called the vault ‘heaven’. Evening came and morning came: the second day.

 

So if we now add a parallel Bible which has Gen 1:4 Accordance is aware of the Gen 1:4 and adds the -- like in the Bibles from Accordance. This would avoid:

 

Gen 1,1 In the beginning God created heaven and earth.

Gen 1,2 Now the earth was a formless void, there was darkness over the deep, with a divine wind sweeping over the waters.

Gen 1,3 ¶ God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light. God saw that light was good, and God divided light from darkness.

Gen 1,4 --

Gen 1,5 God called light ‘day’, and darkness he called ‘night’. Evening came and morning came: the first day.

Gen 1,6 ¶ God said, ‘Let there be a vault through the middle of the waters to divide the waters in two.’ And so it was.

Gen 1,7 God made the vault, and it divided the waters under the vault from the waters above the vault.

Gen 1,8 God called the vault ‘heaven’. Evening came and morning came: the second day.

 

Which doesn't look nice and had an incorrect amount of verses by Analytics.

It would then be possible to import the J.B. Phillips NT without empty verses. And a lot others.
