A topic on versification schemes has been added in the Go Bible Forum. See [http://jolon.org/vanillaforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=745]. Initial focus is for Slavic languages (e.g. Russian, Ukrainian). I'm adding this link here in case further useful information gets posted.

I added this section because the USFM reference use the term "alternate versification" in a ''different sense'' than we have been hitherto discussing within CrossWire.

We need a versification system defining for French Bibles, so that we can properly address some of the related issues we encounter in French modules. See (for example) http://www.crosswire.org/bugs/browse/MOD-186 [[User:David Haslam|David Haslam]] 03:45, 4 January 2012 (MST)
 
 
 
:The consequences of not having one is that we all too easily fail to catch the module issues such as verses missing at the end of many Psalms. We cannot rely indefinitely on the fact that a few of us happen to know what to look for. The software tools used during module creation and testing should report such errors.

Front-end support for av11n ?

In theory, there are several aspects to consider when looking at front-end application support for alternate versification:

  1. Can the module be installed at all, without causing the application to crash?
  2. Can an installed module with av11n be properly displayed with all of its content? Or with only some of its content?
  3. Can the application readily navigate to books and chapters that are outside the default v11n?
  4. For av11ns with a different book order, can the module be scrolled in the defined av11n book order?
  5. Can the application display two or more modules with different versifications in parallel mode (or as an interlinear view) with proper alignment of the text content?

Front-end support for av11n is at various stages of development. The av11n support status of some of the more popular front-ends is tabled here.

1.8.1

There is no agreement to put the following versifications into the source. While there is none it should not be in the main text

Not yet released.

Liturgical variants[1] based on the Catholic liturgical translations (based itself on the neoVulgate), of which two correspond to existing Catholic versifications:

  • Catholic_lit – like Catholic but with significant differences, Esther with 10 chapters.
  • Catholic2_lit – like Catholic2 but with significant differences, Esther with 16 chapters.
  • Catholic3_lit – corresponding to Catholic, but where Esther's alternate versification is integrated into the current 10 chapters, to allow a better reading. This means that the verses of the chapters numbered with letters are integrated into the current 10 chapters of Esther.
