We do have a whole bunch of texts in the pipeline which will never grow beyond a odd selection of books - Genesis, Exodus, Psalms, Matthew, Luke, Acts and Romans, e.g./ Usually these are translations which are meant largely for an audience which has a primary language and then a state language. Latter being used for educational purposes, former being educationally neglected or even suppressed. So the translation is one to touch and interest people, but people will usually naturally drift towards the larger/complete translation in the state language. So for this "scope" is already useful - not showing empty books, but only those actually present. And then there is the av11n problem with Protestant translations in e.g. Synodal format. Chris has scuttled the SynodalP versification for reasons of mostly abundance of errors, but protestant translations do not only not have, say, Wisdom or Jesus Sirach, but actually actively do not want these in there. All frontends will show empty books and this gives simply the wrong impression. A scope parametre would allow for an easy solution of this problem. And, yes, I agree a automatic addition would be useful.
