Working with Panes
Multiple panes can be displayed in the Search tab 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 active 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.

When looking at the content of a pane, note that:
- Bookmarks and User Note marks are displayed only in the primary Text pane.
- Hit words are highlighted only in panes displaying the same text as the search text.
- By default all panes are tied to each other and synchronized; hence the panes scroll together and the Info pane is continuously updated with information about the topmost verse in active 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).

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 corpus 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. |
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 () is used to combine up to three Texts in the same pane. The button is blue when active (); 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.

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.

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.
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 form 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.
