Randall,

I just surveyed the Lyris conference server's online manuals. From what I
can see, there is no feature that allows us to do what you want. I will
continue looking... :-(

There is the possibility of writing a program to do this and link it into
the software -- and it doesn't look too hard -- but one must be a site
Lyris administrator to do this, and our (the moderators') permissions are
not so exalted. :-)

I think what you are trying to do is very worthy (one *cannot* read enough
Hebrew Bible!), and the moderators will do whatever we can to support this.

*******

For those to whom the practice of the parashot readings is new: Is there a
web page out there that talks about the origin and modern practice of the
parashot reading system, what is is, how the text was divided, why, and
how the dates are determined each year?

Blessings,

Kirk
