Psalms, Joel, and Malachi have in common that for Greek(Psalms)/Hebrew(Joel/Malachi) vs English versification schemes the books have the same content in the same order, just different chapter divisions.

In LXX and VG Psalms (which use the Greek versification):

  • The different versification schemes are delineated in the filenames and headings.
  • The files are divided by English chapter, so some Greek chapters are split and some are combined.

BHS Joel and Malachi are inconsistent with this treatment:

  • Filenames and headings only contain Hebrew chapters.
  • Files are split according to Hebrew chapters, not English.

Both of these cases are the same: differing chapter divisions from "conventional" English. For better clarity and to avoid confusion, I think both these cases should be handled in the same manner.
