I’m aware of the topic Exclude foreign words from wordlist, and see that the planned response to that as a good step.
For the mean-time, is there any way to exclude certain books (or ideally a particular \periph section) from the wordlist entirely?

We’re working on a project that is using an (internationally defined) language-specific alphabet when most people have had at least a few years of schooling in the national language. It makes sense for a pronunciation guide to be in the INT book, and not added ad-hoc to a particular PTXprint configuration, so yesterday I added the most recent version into the INT book in its own little \periph section.
I’m now being asked to take it out, because not only is almost every other word in it (spelt in the national alphabet) is a misspelling that the translators might make.

Click the “Verses filter” drop-down in the Wordlist.
Click the final option (Choose).
In the Choose dialog, deselect the books which contain words you do not want to see in the Wordlist.
Click OK.

Once you have defined a selection, you can name and save it. The selection will be visible in de Verses filter drop down menu - not just in the wordlist but in other places as well, such as the Biblical Terms window and the Notes list.

I’m trying to include the book INT, between table of contents, and GEN to REV. How do I accomplish this? Putting INT as the first book, before GEN, does nothing.
