In current implementation there is some kind of backward translation
procedure. In cases where translation to KJV *contracts* verses, and then
it need to expand in destination v11n, i check of how KJV translate current
verse to source v11n and if there is expansion, i choose which verse i
should display. In other words it anyway will be
Psalm.51.1=>Psalm.51.0=>Psalm.51.1
Psalm.51.2=>Psalm.51.0=>Psalm.51.2
Psalm.51.3=>Psalm.51.1=>Psalm.51.3

Or maybe i loose something?

expect to get?

Ps.51.0 + Ps.51.1 + Ps.51.2 - first entry
Ps.51.0 + Ps.51.1 + Ps.51.2 - also second
Ps.51.2 + Ps.51.3 - third, and so on for each module?
