Display several Bible verses on the same slide

2/20/2022

This topic describes how set the "Bibles" style level to automatically display several Bible verses on the same slide.
The screenshot below shows 5 Bible verses on the same slide:

By default, VideoPsalm displays one Bible verse per slide:

To display 5 Bible verses at a time

1. Select the "Bibles" style level:

From now on, all style changes will be assigned to the "Bibles" style level.
It means that the verses of all chapters of all Bible books, of all Bibles, will receive these style changes.

Another way to select the "Bibles" style level is to click on the "Bibles" button:

2. Select "5" Bible verses in the drop-down:

From now on, Bible passages will be displayed with 5 verses per slide.

1 Bible verse per slide

The Guide says: "Select" 5 "Bible verses in the drop-down:". But on version 1.26 there is no "Max verses". There is really no "Slide Layout" section in the "Text" TAB.

I have 2 key issues I would like to know the solution to, first, in the 1.27 version one has to open the drop down menu to access other translations and I think an option to pin bibles will help speed things up, secondly it there a possibility of directly getting to the actual verse you were on when I switch bible translations, imagine being on a long psalm with over hundred verses and having to look for the verse where you were at through the whole list again( I am aware that it is highlighted) I would like a possibility of switching to the same verse immediately the translation changes. And finally the option to use number keys for specific verse will be a welcome improvement. Thank you.
