I have recently noticed that PT8 reference checking now expects that footnotes on headings, which come immediately before a verse number, to be marked as belonging to the following verse. For example the following footnote in the NIV is correct in Paratext 7:
\sp She\f + \fr 1:1 \ft The main male and female speakers ... are debatable.\f*
\q1
\v 2 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth....
In PT8 the above gives the checking error
SNG 1:2 Caller in reference [1:2] but should be in [1:1]
In PT8 the correct reference is now 1:2. Did I miss an announcement? I like this behavior, however it means we now have many projects that have errors.
- First I want to make sure this is a permanent change before we change a lot of projects.
- Second I am wondering if there is a easy way for an administrator/archivist to identify projects that many need to be adjusted.
- Finally I am wondering if this is a change that affects other aspects of PT checking or has other implications for marking up our text.
