Jesse Dornfeld Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 So I was wondering if it was possible to get the English references for the Book/Chapter/Verse for the Hebrew and Greek Bibles. I have highlighted what I want in English in the Screenshot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alistair Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Putting an English language text in parallel with it is probably the easiest way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Allison Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Ctrl-T, click on "Advanced" and select "Use English Book Names" And make sure you click on the "Use as Default" button. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Dornfeld Posted February 23, 2019 Author Share Posted February 23, 2019 Putting an English language text in parallel with it is probably the easiest way. Thanks. Also wondering how I can get the Hebrew Bible to scroll with the English Bible. Ctrl-T, click on "Advanced" and select "Use English Book Names" And make sure you click on the "Use as Default" button. Thanks. I have some other questions as I get set up. I don't have access to many commentaries at this point in time, but I think I have one that comes with the Hebrew Starter. My question is how do I get the Hebrew and English Bibles to scroll with a commentary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Allison Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Open a bible first, then click on the "Add parallel" button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukfraser Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Thanks mark, beat me to it, though i use the little cog wheel above the text title bar (instead of control t) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse Dornfeld Posted February 23, 2019 Author Share Posted February 23, 2019 Open a bible first, then click on the "Add parallel" button. Thanks. Is there a way to sync up all of these so they scroll at exactly the same time? I realize this would require a different size of texts but that doesn't matter to me. Thanks mark, beat me to it, though i use the little cog wheel above the text title bar (instead of control t) Thanks, this is helpful since I prefer using a mouse instead of the Keyboard.

ukfraser Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 You will find Accordance runs on steroids, if you open preferences (i think its at the bottom of edit on windows) you will find options for settings that will keep you entertained for hours. Dr j had a great podcast on this for an earlier version but much is still relevant. I think every parralel you add is automatically tied and they will be on the same tab. If you open a new tab, right clicking on it will enable you to tie that to another text in a different tab. Font size shouldnt be a problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabian Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 (edited) They scroll on verse basis. Jesse on the homepage the is a Getting Started button, left of the FB and Twitter buttons. I'm sure this will help you to get fast deeper in Accordance. Greetings Fabian Edited February 23, 2019 by Fabian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely, a lot to organize at first. I've found something that works for me in terms of scrolling and text size that I like, will post a screenie of that. For the Hebrew Bible, it's a font size of 18 (which is default) with a line spacing of 15%. For the English Bible (I use the ESV) I use the Lato Medium font at a size of 12 for the Contents and for the References I use Arial font at a size of 12 and the line spacing is 20%. It seems to be good enough for the time being. They scroll on verse basis. Jesse on the homepage the is a Getting Started button, left of the FB and Twitter buttons. I'm sure this will help you to get fast deeper in Accordance. Greetings Fabian Thanks, I will take a look at Getting Starter.

Fabian Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 (edited) You have here also a Training manual. https://www.accordancebible.com/Documentation/ Also in your Accordance Library are Tools like: https://www.accordancebible.com/store/details/?pid=Dr.+J%27s+BSM https://www.accordancebible.com/store/details/?pid=Getting+Started I suggested this to make a tool in Accordance. https://www.accordancebible.com/store/details/?pid=Keener-Context BiblicalTraining.org Collection So before you buy a lot you have to read enough.

Greetings Fabian Indeed. What's the point in getting "a lot" if you don't know how to use it? Lots of resources available for learning the Accordance software. I think I will start with Dr. J's video podcast series because I have watched a few of them and found a lot of value from them. Plus, I am more of a visual learner anyway so this is a good option for me I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabian Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 I've started also with the Podcasts, but the Training Manual support it. Later I found an old German manual, but with nearly no images and this was too hard to understand what they really want to say. Even as a German speaker. There is also an electronic quiz which Dr. J. created to learn Accordance but I didn't found it. Maybe he can jump in. Greetings Fabian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukfraser Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 (edited) I know the training manual is for the previous version and we are 'encouraged' to use the on line help, but i much prefer the way the training manual is set out and structured rather than continually having to click on page links. And it still covers about 85% of the current version. And just a Short time ago, we were reading a hard copy of the bible...

Jesse Dornfeld Posted February 23, 2019 Author Share Posted February 23, 2019 And just a Short time ago, we were reading a hard copy of the bible... This is particularly relevant to me as I am just getting into the swing of this as a new user of Accordance. I had previously been trying to study the same types of things in a physical copy of a single bible looking at the references that were very lacking. Accordance is leagues about doing that type of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Dornfeld Posted February 24, 2019 Author Share Posted February 24, 2019 One more question for the time being. How do I get cross-highlighting to work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Λύχνις Δαν Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Cross-highlighting relies on having a key numbered modern language text in parallel with an original language text, say NA28 Greek NT with ESVS in parallel. Thx D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Λύχνις Δαν Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 ESVi is not a tagged text. The tagged texts are suffixed with S, so ESVS, RSVS, or called xxxxxx with Strongs or similar for eg. NASB with Strongs. Thx D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse Dornfeld Posted February 24, 2019 Author Share Posted February 24, 2019 I don't have cross-highlighting de-selected either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Λύχνις Δαν Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 It looks like you have HMT-DEMO in use for the ID content. That probably shouldn't be an issue but in case it is you could switch it to the HMT-W4. Go to Preferences->Compare Text -> Source Texts -> Old Testament and choose the HMT-W4 text. Failing that I'll check my Windows install, as you are on Windows. Thx D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Dornfeld Posted February 24, 2019 Author Share Posted February 24, 2019 I have tried several options under "Preferences > Compare Text" and none seem to fix the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Dornfeld Posted February 24, 2019 Author Share Posted February 24, 2019 Again, I appreciate the help. I'm getting a bit frustrated at this point since it's looking to be a software glitch or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
