<div style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Thanks John,<br><br><u>Aside</u>: I'm puzzled by the use of <b>type="acrostic"</b> when the 125 Psalms with canonical titles are nothing to do with acrostics, <i>per se</i>. Surely, that attribute should be reserved for the 22 stanza headings in Psalm 119 ?<br><br>There are Alternative Versifications in which the canonical Psalm titles are assigned to verse 1 (or in a few cases to verses 1 & 2) with subsequent verse numbers being offset by +1 (or +2).<br>I was not enquiring about modules that are for Bible versions like that.<br><br>In the KJV and many other modules, the Psalm titles proper are <u>before</u> the start of verse 1.</div><div style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br></div>

Subject: [sword-devel] Canonical Psalm titles and SWORD search?</span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"> </p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">I just tried to search for the word 'Neginoth' using Xiphos.</p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"> </p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">There were no results found!</p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"> </p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">This word occurs in the canonical Psalm title for Ps.6 and five other Psalms.</p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"> </p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">"To the chief Musician on Neginoth upon Sheminith, A Psalm of David."</p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"> </p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">In view of the fact that canonical Psalm titles are translated from the original Hebrew, ought it not to be within the scope of SWORD search?</p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"> </p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Or is this merely a shortcoming of Xiphos?</p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"> </p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">cf. Xiphos Advanced Search dialog allows search scope to look in footnotes, but there's no such option for titles.</p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"> </p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Of course, many Bible versions have non-canonical headings throughout the module, yet I'm not concerned with such in asking this question here.</p>
