As you may know , in the commentary view you have option of comments by chapter, book or verse. But for your own study notes you are restricted to viewing your notes only by verse (when synchronize is checked) or else not sync'd to anything. 

I want to be able to view my own comments for sections of text either per chapter or per pericope (but sometimes per verse). As far as I can tell my options are to create my own comentary, (no idea how to do that)  or to figure out how to make study notes list comments by chapter instead of verse. Does anyone know how to do either? thanks for any help or ideas

There are a couple of ways what you seek can be accomplished

Method 1: E-Sword includes three different types of editors, one called Journal Notes, one called Study Notes and one called Topic Notes. Topic Notes you can uses three editors for different types of notes for dealing with an entire section or chapter of biblical text the best option is Topic Notes.

Method 2: if you want to create an actual commentary module for E-sword, you will need to download and use a program called E-Sword Tooltip NT. This is the program used create of the various types of modules that can be installed into E-Sword. This includes Bible, Commentary, Dictionary. Topic, Maps, and even Devotionals. You download E-Sword Tooltip program right from this site at the following link:

E-Sword Tooltip comes with a very detailed user guide which explains how to created all of the different module types and how to connect them to biblical text in e-sword

hi e-sword fanatic thanks for the instructions. I actually am trying to implement your 1st method because i would like to avoid downloading tooltip NT and the associated learning curve, but I dont see what you mean by the 3 different editors for Topic Notes ? Just to re-clarify, I would like to make comments on particular sections of bible text. So for example John 1:1-10; Any verse that is clicked on, 1 -10, would open those comments. Just like it works in the commentaries. Can this be donw in the editors of topic notes? Thanks again

The only way to connect notes to bible verses is via a commentary file made with tooltip NT 

The three editors I mentioned are available in the editors tab in E-Sword, when you open the editors tab in E-Sword it contain three tabs across the top that read from left to right "Journal Notes","Study Notes", "Journal Notes". These are E-sword's 3 built in note taking apps each set to take notes a different way 

Here is an image of the e-sword editors tab:

The tree Editors in e-Sword have a specific function, which are:

1. Journal Notes, which you use to write in your personal thoughts.
2. Topic Notes, which you can use for sermon preparation, thematic study, and etc
3. Study Notes, which you can use for writing your thoughts, interpretations of verses.

One of the best ways you can use your Topic Note and Study Note Editors is like a Wide Margin Loose Leaf Bible.

• The Study Note Editor could be likened to the wide margins in the Bible
• The Topic Note Editor could be likened to the notepaper provided, in which you can insert them to where you may want them in the Bible.

With that said, the Study Note Editor is not designed to be a Bible Commentary tool, but that for what it actually says it is. However, there is nothing to say you can't use the Study Note Editor as the basis for which you can create a Bible Commentary from it by simply importing the .notx file into T4, then editing it where you can insert your chapter notes into the imported file, and then exporting it as a .cmtx file.
