I've encountered an issue where I'm trying to parse the following
references: "Ps 27:7-14; 28".<br><br>
It seems that JSword is treating the 28 as a verse rather than as a
chapter. Previously I had assumed that when separating by commas you
would be referencing a verse, but when separating by a semi-colon you
would be expressing a chapter.<br><br>
The JSword code doesn't make a difference between the two parts, and
therefore assumes here that 28 is a chapter. This then causes an issue
because Ps 27 doesn't have a verse 28. <br><br>
Presumably introducing a difference between separators of verses, verse
ranges and chapters (e.g. comma means between verse, but semi-colon means
between chapters) is something fairly fundamental and therefore a change
that we wouldn't want to make?<br><br>

I agree that commas always separate verses and semi-colons always
separate chapters. <br>
I don't see any problem with making that clear in JSword. I expect that
this lack of clarity was an oversight. <br><br>
