Be nice to iron them out, they leave us at a disadvantage.
Another one I would like to have (it is what most Spanish speaking churches
use where I live and
go) is the Reina y Valera 1960. I have to use either an older one that does
not always track the
1960 version or a newer one which has the same issues.

I understand that but they should allow us to purchase the file so we can
use it.  I understand
that they have cost that they have to cover, so no issue there but to do
what they do in this manner...

Seems like there was an incident in the Temple about 2000 years ago kind of
down this line??
