Canonical Psalm titles should use \d rather than \s ; acrostic headings should use \qa #4

Open DavidHaslam opened 7 years ago

DavidHaslam commented 7 years ago

Currently in the Psalms there are

The proper USFM tag for the 116 canonical Psalm titles is \d. The 22 acrostic stanza headings in Psalm 119 should use the tag \qa.

btw. There must be one canonical title missing, as 116 + 22 = 138.

The chapter label tag \cl occurs only once in Psalm 1 after the chapter marker.

\c 1
\ms Book One
\mr Psalms 1-41
\cl Psalm 1

If you wish each Psalm to be properly labeled with the word Psalm rather than Chapter, then you should use the chapter label tag before the marker for chapter 1, thus:

\cl Psalm
\c 1
\ms Book One
\mr Psalms 1-41

Refer to the USFM User Reference for details. NB. Some Bible software apps may not support this feature.

22 of the 175 instances of \s are in Psalm 119, so the remaining 153 must be in the other Psalms. If each such Psalm had just one such section heading, that means there are 4 more than we'd expect.

Psalm 1 has no non-canonical section heading. Psalm 19 is split into two sections with a section heading before verse 7. Psalm 40 is split into two sections with a section heading before verse 12. Psalm 89 is split into four sections with a section heading before verses 19,38,46.

The translators should consider supplying suitable non-canonical section headings for Psalm 1 and Psalm 82.

cf. For Psalm 1, the NASB has (in effect) \s The Righteous and the Wicked Contrasted

Psalm 82 has only one heading. However, the line uses \s rather than \s1, thus: \s ਆਸਾਪ ਦਾ ਭਜਨ meaning A Psalm of Asaph - the wording of the canonical heading. If this is merely changed to use \d, then this too becomes a Psalm without a non-canonical section heading. cf. The NASB has (in effect) \s Unjust Judgements Rebuked \d A Psalm of Asaph

Outside Psalms, there are 9 other valid instances of \s1 in the Punjabi Bible.

I have just committed the corrections of USFM tags to 19_PSAPAN.usfm in the Editing branch of my fork.

In Psalms 1 & 82, I inserted the following line: \rem noncanonical section heading missing

Substantially fixed in pull request #10

Issue to remain open until the translators have attended to the missing headings in Psalm 1 & 82.
