Here is an example of something I was working on last week. Most chapters in our Monkolé Bible begin with a title. It's worth remembering that those titles are not part of the original biblical text, and neither are the chapter or verse breaks. Anyway, some chapters don't start with titles, and so we ended up in our first draft of the layout with something looking like this:
Since this is in the Psalms, we definitely want a line left between chapter 42 and chapter 43, to show that these are two distinct psalms. But there are some other cases like this one:
This is Exodus chapter 5 and 6. Here we are in the middle of a conversation between God and Moses, and to put a gap between the chapters might give the impression that these are two separate conversations.
So my job was to go through our Bible looking at all the places where a chapter didn't begin with a title, and decide whether or not we wanted a gap between the preceding chapter and the new one.
