It seems to me like the key is whether the set is public or not. I have had no issues adjusting the verse numberings of passage sets that were not public, but the ones that are public appear to hold onto their configurations. This actually makes sense if you think about it. After all, who wants to start learning a passage set only to have the creator change it on you.
When I first started, I used to make public passage sets all the time. What I found, however, was that all those passage sets already had a passage set out there made by someone else. If one already exists, why not just use that one? You get no credit for the Sharer badge for making passage sets, and I'm not certain those qualify for the Trend Setter badge as well. For these reasons, I just make my passage sets private so I can adjust them at will as necessary. It also makes hitting the Learn button multiple times for practice less spammy to the rest of the users.
Thanks guys! I'm not going to lie, I raised my hands in a silent "Yes!" Thanks for all the support for those who helped me get here over the last year. For those who are wondering, It took 370 days to master John 1:1.
REJOICING with you for the JOY seeing this FIRST OF MANY to come. The sun is up! So will wait for dusk to launch an amazing fireworks display. Smiling for this day!

I agree with you, Saintman. I was having trouble where the intervals would get too long. I ended up going with a manual system where I created my own private groups with individual intervals listed in the group name. Here are the tiers I currently use with the actual titles of some of my groups:
Every day I start with my new verse, and then do my individual verse reviews. Then I go down the list starting at the top. I review the Daily sets until I know the narrative progression from verse to verse. Even and Odd are the calendar day, and it also corresponds to the number of the chapter. I advance the set from Even/Odd once I can do the verses with few mistakes. From there, I advance them based upon how well I remember them. I will also drop them down in cycles if I start to forget. I may have to expand my categories, but for now I'm comfortable reviewing each set at least once a month.
Using this method does continue to give you points. It also shows up on your verse reviews (the top right corner on the main screen) the first time you review it. For those times where I review the same set over and over, it will still show the number of verses reviewed on the stats graph no matter how many times you review it (which is what most people see anyway). I have reset the progress on several verses as well, but I found that I'd eventually hit the interval gap where I'd forget again. Plus it messes with your achievements and stats. Doing it with the method I describe above does neither. Of course, I haven't tried it after mastering a verse, which will happen any day now, but I imagine it should still work.
A good method for memorizing tricky parts is to start over when you make a mistake. So browse to the passage set (it helps to make a new one that is not public to avoid spamming the chat history) and click Learn. Start typing the first verse, and the first non-fat-finger mistake you make, finish the verse and then hit the back button. Click Learn again and repeat. Starting over will be painful and will start to make you angry, and that anger will reinforce the word pattern so you don't have to start over again in the future. Its frustrating to do this over and over, but it does work.
Another thing you can do is repeat the verse set every hour on the hour. Make all the mistakes you want, but repeat it every hour. Your mind will start to see the patterns in the verses because you are reviewing it in closer sequences. By the time you've done that eight times you'll have it down. The next day, repeat the process but do it every two hours. And so on for the week. By the time the week is over, you won't forget the pattern anymore.
Thanks for the kind words guys! When I started a year ago, I said something like "One week down, three years to go." Little did I know all the little things that can distract you from logging in for the day (vacations, work deadlines, sickness, family emergencies, etc.). In fact, the closest I came to losing my streak was through pure distraction!
After one year, I'm even more impressed with what Luli2016 and the other 18 users who have reached this milestone (or beyond) before me have accomplished. As I watch you guys get your achievements, it pushes me further along myself. Any heights I achieve here will be by standing on the shoulders of those who came before me. You guys are awesome, and I'm honored to be a part of the LS community!
And special thanks to spookylukey for creating such a great memorization tool! I can't wait to see you receive your rewards in heaven for designing and maintaining this website!

Well done Onfire247 👏👍🎉 That’s a great achievement and so difficult to get. Thanks for all your encouragement and the great example you set in consistency.
I too have such great admiration for Luli for achieving 4 years I think now ( but the badges stop at 3) and all the others who keep going so consistently. You are all an inspiration. And your comments about Spookylukey are spot on!
Congratulations on your new achievement! Your commitment is such a wonderful testimony and a great encouragement to us all! May the Lord richly bless you as you seek to serve Him daily! (Ruth2:12)- The Lord recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of the LORD God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to trust.
