Single Record
Using this approach you store the entire multiverse passage in a single record.
Figure A-1 shows how someone might implement this option for Palm 23. All six verses have been copied into a single record. In this particular example each verse is marked with its verse number and starts on a new line. How, or even if, individual verses are identified is up to you.
The Passage field in each MyVerses record is limited to 3860 characters. Since many chapters in the Bible contain more characters than this, those who enjoy memorizing entire chapters need to be aware of this limitation. If the selected passage exceeds the character limit, you can subdivide it into sections and store the sections in multiple records.
If you decide to store multiple verses in a single record, but would like to maintain an accurate count of the total number of verses you have memorized, you may find it helpful to check out the discussion on Verse Level Statistics in Chapter 8.

Multiple Records
With this method you store each verse of a chapter, or other multiverse passage, in its own record.
Figure A-3 shows how this approach might be implemented for Palm 23. Each verse is stored in a separate record. In the example shown, the Topic field is used to indicate that the verse belongs to a collection of records containing the contents of an entire chapter. The Reference field identifies the specific verse in this record.
The Multiple Records approach breaks large passages into smaller pieces that may make it easier to learn a new passage. In addition, this technique may be helpful if you like to recall specific verses within a long passage by their unique verse numbers.
MyVerses is capable of managing the review cycle for over 32,000 different records. This is more than the total number of verses in both the Old and New Testaments of the Bible combined so the number of records you create should never be a problem.

Empty Passage
In some cases it may be useful to store only the reference, and possibly a topic, in the MyVerses record (Figure A-5).
This is a viable option for long chapters that you have already learned and prefer to review using some external mechanism.
For example, a person might have memorized entire chapters before using MyVerses. This person might prefer to review these chapters by repeating them into a voice recorder and then playing back the result while following along in a separate Bible.
In this case, creating a record for each of these chapters would enable MyVerses to notify the user when a review of each chapter is due based on the user's personal review schedule. This would integrate the review cycle of those chapters with smaller Scripture portions stored in other MyVerses records.
