Hi, @Troy,
Someone in charge could tell me if it's possible to add new versification, I think it's worth it. As for the other proposals, they seem interesting to me personally, but I have the impression that they would require a lot more work.

Even better than per-book versification, I think that per-translation versification makes more sense. That way, no change to the code would need to be made to tweak the versification yet again. No matter how many versifications we define, someone will find or invent another one.

In my limited study of 'Fixing' versification (meaning parallel display across versification...)

Can I recommend revamp to support an additional 'BOOK' level versification.  This would pretty much eliminate the need for (yet) another versification system, if each book rather than module could name its own versification.

So for Cyrille's example the module is 'catholic' (for all 70ish) books, but Esther is book versified to 'cath2' or whatever already matches it.

    Hello,
    Recently a person interested in the Catholic bible in French told me
    about the mapping problems between Catholic versification and the
    kjva
    concerning Esther. So I'm bringing up the question of a new Catholic
    versification that could better deal with this kind of problem
    and at
    the same time incorporate some of the errors in current Catholic
    versifications. I should mention that two versifications for French
    Bibles have been added since my proposal for a new Catholic
    versification, which was made long before these versifications were
    added, and which was not favorably received at the time. In our
    case,
    the number of Bibles that follow this versification is simply
    enormous,
    since the majority of Catholic Bibles do. I would also add that
    the LXX
    versification is not entirely correct. There are no LXX today
    that put
    16 chapters to Esther. Ralph's already uses letters to integrate
    Greek
    passages into the text.
    In fact, Catholic versification simply follows Ralph's. So I suggest
    that we seriously reopen this question with concrete suggestions.
    For my part, the suggestion is simple: convert the numbers in the
    Greek
    passages into verses and offset the numbered verses in the same
    chapters. I'll copy you on what that might look like.
