    We have slovak translation of Bible but lots of verses is diferent numbered
    like in KJV or in other bibles, like one verse is not in beginin of chapter,
    but in end of the previous chapter (mostly in the prophets books). And that
    the verse is not posible use in presentation.
    Or some verses in Psalms are split to two verses and some chapters have one
    more verse, then the last one is not posible to use in Opensong, but in xml
    file is presented with all tags and etc. Only Opensong dont accept this
    verses.

    Can you provide a link to the XML version of this bible? If you prefer not to
    make it public, email the link or the entire XML file to me
    (mailto:swampcat@users.sourceforge.net and I will look into it.

      Hello Ed,

      to renew this issue, the dutch bible translations starts in several psalms with an additional verse as verse 1 (mostly saying: "A psalm of David for ..."), in OpenSong them you can't select the last verse. The last verse is displayed but impossible to select.

      In the translation attached you can see this in Psalm 41 and 42 for example.

      Greetings,

      EDIT: i've noticed that when the Zefanja XML format is used, the number of verses correctly depends on the number of verses listed in the xml file. My problem has been fixed :)

    I've found out that in the book of Malachai the problem with verse numbering concerns the whole chapter. In the English translation chapter 3 has 18 verses and then starts chapter 4 with its 6 verses.

    In Polish translation,though, there are only 3 chapters, with chapter 3 having 24 verses.

    In the text/xml file for Polish Bible numbering and chapters division seem to keep in accordance with Polish translation, but it does not display. From within the soft (OpenSong) it still show funny mixture of English and Polish chapter splitting. Chapter 3 shows to have 24 verses (but displays only first 18) and still it shows chapter 4 (which does not display at all).

    Any ideas as to how to fix it????

    There are also some "minor" problems with single verses in Psalms, as mentioned in posts above. The "Malachai case" seems to be a bigger one :-(

    And still, if it can be fixed the other problems can be dealt with too :-) (I hope)

      Hi Romek,

      As i've noticed above, this issue can be fixed bij changing the xml to the 'Zefanja XML format'. In the attachment i've added the same translation in de old style xml format and in de 'Zefanja XML format' so you can see the difference in them.

      Hopefully you can fix your problem this way.

      Greetings,
      Stian
