[sword-devel] Second versions, Scottish Metric Psalter

[David Haslam]

The best solution may be to have two SMP modules each with 150 Psalms; one to have the V1s and the other to have the V2s for the Psalms with 2 versions.

NB. The canonical title should also be supplied for the Version 2.

These Psalms could be given an extra technical note to explain further.

138 Psalms would appear exactly the same in both modules, but the convenience more than compensates for the duplications.

Thoughts?
