After attending the Infer Command webinar today (3/17/2022) hosted by Rick Mansfield, I asked the following question: "Are there any future plans in accordance to allow the ability to compare more than one text? Do you see any extra benefit in having this capability?" The general feedback seemed to suggest that this might be something we all could benefit from in a future release. Hope others will consider this as a viable request. Thank you for your time. David Womack

I was showing a colleague the INFER command (he is considering buying Accordance) and he asked for a comparison of Lev 25 and Ezek 34 which both have phrases containing רדה and פֶרֶך. Here are the results from a search: Lev 25:43‏ לֹא־תִרְדֶּ֥ה ב֖וֹ בְּפָ֑רֶךְ וְיָרֵ֖אתָ מֵאֱלֹהֶֽיךָ׃ ‎Lev 25:46‏ וְהִתְנַחֲלְתֶּ֨ם אֹתָ֜ם לִבְנֵיכֶ֤ם אַחֲרֵיכֶם֙ לָרֶ֣שֶׁת אֲחֻזָּ֔ה לְעֹלָ֖ם בָּהֶ֣ם תַּעֲבֹ֑דוּ וּבְאַ֨חֵיכֶ֤ם בְּנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ אִ֣ישׁ בְּאָחִ֔יו לֹא־תִרְדֶּ֥ה ב֖וֹ בְּפָֽרֶךְ׃ ס ‎Lev 25:53‏ כִּשְׂכִ֥יר שָׁנָ֛ה בְּשָׁנָ֖ה יִהְיֶ֣ה עִמּ֑וֹ לֹֽא־יִרְדֶּ֥נּֽוּ בְּפֶ֖רֶךְ לְעֵינֶֽיךָ׃ ‎Ezek 34:4‏ אֶֽת־הַנַּחְלוֹת֩ לֹ֨א חִזַּקְתֶּ֜ם וְאֶת־הַחוֹלָ֣ה לֹֽא־רִפֵּאתֶ֗ם וְלַנִּשְׁבֶּ֙רֶת֙ לֹ֣א חֲבַשְׁתֶּ֔ם וְאֶת־הַנִּדַּ֙חַת֙ לֹ֣א הֲשֵׁבֹתֶ֔ם וְאֶת־הָאֹבֶ֖דֶת לֹ֣א בִקַּשְׁתֶּ֑ם וּבְחָזְקָ֛ה רְדִיתֶ֥ם אֹתָ֖ם וּבְפָֽרֶךְ׃ When using the INFER command to compare Lev 25 and Ezek 34 I cannot get these phrases to appear. I have tried various tweaks, but to no avail. Any help appreciated.

I have a very technical comparison I am hoping to carry out for my dissertation research, and I was hoping someone could walk me through the steps (or first, let me know if it is possible!). I know about the INFER command, but want to create percentages of agreement along three lines of comparison for each pericope where Matthew and Mark overlap and don't know how. So again, for each pericope I want to calculate: #total words # of identical words with identical form and identical order # of identical words with identical forms and different order # of identical words with different forms and different order Solages and Synoptic Abstract both provide this information, but I was hoping to check it with Accordance as well.
