Intentionally missing verse numbers

Question

Is there a way to tell Paratext to ignore a ‘Verse missing’, such as Mrk. 15:28? Advice appreciated!

Answer 1

Short answer: create a text file custom.vrs in your project folder and insert lines like

-MRK 15:28

For in depth information search for custom versification in the Paratext help.

You could also read the inbuilt help on this subject “How do I deny errors in the Results list?”

With this feature you can get rid of the “verse missing” as requested. And you do not need to use a custom file.

Personally I do not mind custom files and hacks, where it really benefits a project. But experience shows that you will create a lot of work for the future, if you do custom stuff: You have to document it and explain it to new team members or consultants, typesetters etc.

A denied error from running checks will normally show up as the same error message, like before, but with a strike-through. So hopefully this needs less explaining, as it visually shows that somebody on the team has struck this message.

I believe if you have a lot of such denied errors and they annoy, you have an option to hide them all (which might get somebody confused later, who does not know about the feature).
