I was actually about this problem, a little bit last night. It seems to me that would be needed would be multiple, ordered indexes of the books. So, you would have the "book" index, which would contain multiple "chapters" indexes, then the "verses" indexes. They could then point inside whatever data structure you chose to hold the actual data. So, you could increment by verse, chapter, or book and get sensible results.
I suppose this could probably be munged into an SWKey (and maybe even SWVersekey) derived class. The downside is that, from what little I understand about sword internals, it would require extensions to the file format, right? I would be willing to put some time in this if its doable (since I am specializing in second temple Judaism, the apocrypha are quite important documents for me.) Thoughts?
