  * *Gen-Deut, Psalms, Proverbs, Matt-John* will have you read Genesis through Deuteronomy, then Psalms and then Proverbs. \\ Finally, you will read Matthew through John.

!!!! Divisions to Read

For Bibles only you have to decide what /divisions/ to read in each session. This will determine the amount of text that you will have to read, or whether you prefer divisions of the same length.

   {{$@img-fluid amber:11190089:46403839}}

* Click on the field next to *All Passages* and choose between:

 * /Default/ - divisions of equal length at the verse level; or

 * /Chapter/ - by bible book chapter; or

 * /Pericope/ - pericope divisions

* /Chapter/ and /Pericope/ will conflict with the *parts* that you have selected to read if they are at the verse level.

* /Chapter/ and /Pericope/ can conflict with the *schedule* you choose e.g.

 * if there are more /sessions/ than chapters, there will be sessions with no reading. \\ /Pericope/ would be a better choice.

 * if there are fewer sessions than chapters, you will read multiple chapters per session. \\ /Pericope/ would be a better choice.

!! Reading specific parts of a non-Bible

 If your non-Bible book is /indexed/ by Page number then you can specify which pages to read. You may also be able to specify non-bible /references/.

#. Click on *All Passages* (or the /Reference range/ next to *Read*) \\ \\ {{$@img-fluid amber:11165381:46256334}} \\ \\

#. From /List/ view or /Calendar/ view you may have noticed page numbers in Roman numerals e.g. *Pages iii-xxiii*, \\ and don't want to read what is usually a Table of Contents. The view also shows 373 as the last page number.

 * enter *1-373* as the new /Reference range/.

 

* Other page ranges can be entered:

 * *149-225* or  *pp 149 - pp 225* or *pg 149 - pg 225*

 * If your book is broken into volumes you have to enter the volume before the page number e.g.

   * *v 1, pg 1 - 254* or *v 1, pg 1 - v 2, pg 117*

 * If you want to read multiple sections of your book each session, then use the pipe character (*'|'*) between your sections. e.g.

   * *1-200 {{~  |  }} 201-373*

   * *1-200 {{~  |  }} 240-373*  /where pp 201-239 won't be read/.
