a few unusual Notes questions

[Kristin]

I have two note questions. The first of which is sort of an unusual question, but I am trying to figure out how many notes I have in each book. If I open my note to a new tab it says  “ESV with Strong’s (5445 notes)”. But I don't know how many notes are in each book. I assume most of them are in Genesis, but is there a way to know specifically? I am trying to separate my notes into smaller note files and want to attack this project as productively as possible.

 

Second, the "ESV" caught my attention as I also have Notes in the NIV and Schlachter. I know I can find those notes by opening those bibles, but my concern is that I have notes in other bibles I am not thinking about. Is there a way to track down those notes?

 

ps - I know I posted about this on another thread, but does anyone know how to make sure text pasted a spreadsheet does not paste with one word in one cell? I thought this was a numbers issue, as it "sometimes" pastes my notes one cell at a time, which takes forever, but workable, but then "sometimes" it pastes my notes one word at a time, which is not workable. I thought this was a Mac issue, but my mom has a Chromebook and said she has experienced this also on on whatever the Google spreadsheet is, so I think it is user error somehow. Thanks.

 

Thank you for any help anyone can provide.

 

Sincerely,

Kristin

Hi Kristen. I don't know about your other questions, but concerning Bible notes, they are not version-specific. So if you make a note in NIV and then go to Schlachter or another version, you should be able to find that same note. I would imagine that the only exceptions to that would be in connection with books that may not be included in some versions (i.e., apocryphal/deuterocanonical).

 

If I'm not mistaken, all Bible notes are saved to one file that is accessible in all versions.

@Kristin 

The question is how your notes are organized? Do you have for each Bible version a own Notes or all in one?

[Kristin]

Hi @Donald Cobb, Thank you for the clarification, and I am relieved to hear this.

 

Hi @Fabian, that is a good point, and I am organizing my notes based on verses, not versions. So regardless of the version I would type it in the same note. I finally needed to split non-biblical books, and eventually even split the biblical books, simply since my note file started getting out of control, but the note in question I am trying to organize is based on the verses. (It is technically linked to non-biblical books too, but I am trying to attack one issue at a time).

Just enter the book name in the search field of the User Notes tab.

Reference: Genesis

It tells you the count for that book only.

Thank you so much, @Darin Franklin, this helps a lot. It is still a tremendous amount of information, and I have multiple "notes" for each note reference, but this gives me a perspective of the shape of the animal I am working with.

 

Take care,

Kristin
