Working with Panes

Multiple panes can be displayed in the Search tabClosed The core tab used to search Bible texts, it consists of a search entry area and a search results area, along with your main Text. These panes can be viewed in different configurations.

There are five types of panes: Text panes, Tool panes, User Note panes, Syntax panes, and Info panes. Text and Syntax panes have slightly different options than Tool and User Note panes and the Info pane. Nevertheless, you can have a mixture of any of these panes open in one Search tab.

When viewing more than one pane, only one of the panes is "selected" or activeClosed The application, window, tab, or other screen element which is currently being used; sometimes called the "front" or "frontmost" screen element. The active pane is outlined in blue.

Shortcut keys can also be used to select a pane.

Change the Focus of Synchronization in a PaneChange the Focus of Synchronization in a Pane

By default, all panes are tied together and content is synchronized to the topmost verse in the pane. Sometimes, you may want to change this focus, so that all additional panes (except the Text panes) are synchronized to a different verse in the active pane (and not the topmost verse).

You can change this focus very quickly: Press and click on the desired verse in the active Text pane. All tied panes except for Text panes refocus to have that verse displayed topmost in the pane, and the Info pane displays information on that verse.

Untie PanesUntie Panes

By default, all panes are tied to each other, enabling synchronized scrolling of content in all the panes, and with the Info pane updated to match based on the topmost verse in the panes.

You can temporarily untie one pane from all others by simply pressing and then scrolling through the desired pane.

You can permanently untie one or more, or all panes in the Search tab, via commands on the Action menu (Action pop-up menu: Provides additional options ).

  • Untie a Single Pane: On the Action menu, choose Untie Scrolling. That pane can now be scrolled without synchronization to any other pane, including the Info pane.
  • Untie All Panes: Press Shift and then open the Action menu and choose Untie All Scrolling. All panes can now be scrolled without synchronization to any other pane, including the Info pane.
  • Restore the Tie of a Single Pane: On the Action menu, choose Tie Scrolling. That pane is now tied to all other tied panes, including the Info pane.
  • Restore Tieing of All Panes: Press Shift and then open the Action menu and choose Tie All Scrolling. All panes are tied to each other, including the Info pane.

Change Pane ContentChange Pane Content

On the Pane bar, click the Text arrows and select the desired module from the pop-up menu. The Text pop-up menu lists all installed modules relevant to that pane (texts for a Text pane, Reference tools for a Tool pane, and so forth).

Note

You cannot change the content of an Info pane.

Click the Attach button (Use this button to attach an alternate text with content not available in the Text already displayed in the pane) or press Shift when clicking the Text arrows to attach up to two additional Text modules to the Text in the pane. This is useful when viewing a Text that contains only a portion of the Bible; you can attach an additional Texts that have the rest of the content.

Note

The additional Texts added to the Text in the secondary pane must be included in the corpora of the primary Search Text. For example, if the NRSVS (which includes the OT, NT, and Apocryphal/Deuterocanonical books) is the primary Search Text, then the JSPS, RSVA, and MOUNCE-NT can be combined in the secondary pane.

You can also use shortcut keys to quickly choose and display modules in the selected pane.

Note

If the search text is not a Biblical text, such as Qumran, the Add pane and Text pane pull-down menus show only the modules that belong to the same corpusClosed Collection of writings. In addition, changing the search text to another corpus changes all the text panes to Texts or Tools of the same corpus.

Display up to Three Texts in the Same PaneDisplay up to Three Texts in the Same Pane

Some Texts do not contain the Old and New Testament together, such as the Hebrew Old Testament or the Greek or English Septuagint. Many don't contain the Apocryphal/Deterocanonical books. You can have up to three Texts assigned to the same pane in these cases. The Combine Texts button (Use this button to attach an alternate text with content not available in the Text already displayed in the pane) is used to combine up to three Texts in the same pane. The button is blue when active (Attach button in Panes bar; a Text has been added to the pane); you can also remove an attached Text via this pop-up menu.
Note: This button only appears if the primary (search) Text in the tab has additional verses/books that are not displayed in the additional parallel pane. For example, to combine the JPSS, MOUNCE-NT, and RSVA, the pimary search Text must be a Text like the NRSVS that includes the Old and New Testaments, as well as the Apocryphal/Deuterocanonical books.

You can also press Shift when clicking the text arrow in the Panes bar to attach a Text, or open a list of pre-defined Combined Texts via the Add Parallel pop-up menu (Combined Texts item).

In the picture below, the main text in the additional pane is the Greek Septuagint, which provides only the Old Testament. Click the Combine Two Texts button (Use this button to attach an alternate text with content not available in the Text already displayed in the pane) to attach an additional New Testament text for display in the same pane.

You can create new Combined Texts sets using the Combine Two Texts button, and manage the Combined Texts via the Manage Combined Texts dialog box.

Synchronized Scrolling PanesSynchronized Scrolling Panes

Scrolling of text panes is synchronized. As you scroll through the text, the top verse in every other pane in the Search tab matches the verse at the top of the selected pane.

You can override this synchronization to scroll through only the selected pane. Simply press as you drag the scrollerClosed The control you drag in the scroll bar. The panes are automatically synchronized when you return to standard scrolling (without pressing ).

Hint

This lets you line up and compare verses from different passages.

When you click the up or down arrow on the scroll bar, the selected pane moves up or down one line at a time. However, the other panes do not move until a different verse is at the top of the active pane.

Mouseover Highlighting of Parallel WordsMouseover Highlighting of Parallel Words

This is accomplished in Accordance by enabling Mouseover Highlighting in the Preferences dialog box (Instant Details area). When enabled, passing the cursor over any word in Key numbered or grammatically tagged text highlights that word.In addition, when enabled, crossover highlighting crosses over to indicate the equivalent word in a parallel pane with a Key number text or a grammatically tagged text.

Once enabled:

  • Certain texts such as the MOUNCE-NT are enhanced with Key Number Phrases. In this case, where a phrase translates a single word, the entire phrase is highlighted in the pane, with the main word in a stronger color (see picture below).
  • When there are multiple occurrences of the same word in a verse, only the word corresponding in position to the word under the cursor is highlighted.
  • If the word under the cursor has no Key number or lexical formClosed The canonical (dictionary) form of a word, no words are highlighted in the parallel panes.
  • You can change the color of the highlight in the Preferences.
  • Highlighting also applies to Dynamic Interlinear display of text.
