Kristin Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 Where is the "Compare" feature? I can find it in settings to change the colors, but I can't find it anywhere on the toolbar how to add it there. I even searched the help menu and it only showed me personal workspaces I have named that. Also, maybe this is also a feature request, but while I can change the colors in settings for Compare, it seems to be stuck on whether something is a strikethrough, underline, or "vertical line". It would be really helpful if the user could edit what type of line it is (like the highlight lines have options), as the presets are very unclear. Thanks.

Rick55 Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 Hey Kristin, I just checked Accordance 14.0.9 on macOS Sonoma, and the 'Compare' feature seems to be working as expected. It looks like you’ll just need to have two texts open in the same zone for the feature to be enabled. Hope this helps! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristin Posted September 20 Author Share Posted September 20 Hi @Rick55, Thank you for the screenshot! As soon as I saw it next to Live Click, there it was staring back at me. I guess I use it so rarely that I had blocked it out like white noise, and so now I tried to find it in one of the menus. I REALLY wish we could change the lines, as I find the vertical line unclear. Thanks again, Kristin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again, Kristin I hope this helps bring some clarity to the vertical lines. From what I've observed, the lines indicate where the sentence structure differs. While this might not be completely accurate, it's what I've noticed, mostly slight changes in sentence structure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristin Posted September 20 Author Share Posted September 20 Hi @Rick55, Thank you, and the more I look at it, the more I remember why I don't use the "compare." I can show Mt 7:22 as a random example. I mainly have two questions: 1) "prophesy in your name" - The ESV has a red line and green dot, while the NIV has a dot and red line, though the only distinction is a comma or not. So it seems like the ESV should have a green add dot, but the NIV shouldn't have one after "prophesy." 2. "cast out demons" - it seems like "cast / drive" should be the only words highlighted, as "demons" is the same in both, and the word "out" is as well. So I don't know if it just isn't very precise, or if I am reading it wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Nathan Parker Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 Thanks @Rick55 for chiming in! I'll see if I can whip up a video on Compare. From what I've heard, there's no way to change the compare types (just the line colors) since the compare types are pre-set for a particular purpose, but I don't recall my strikethroughs being in the same position as yours. I thought mine went more in the middle of the words. I'll play around and see. Compare would be a good video as it is an often overlooked feature. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Wing Posted Sunday at 03:46 PM Share Posted Sunday at 03:46 PM I agree it's a great fetaure. I have a workspace saved where I have my favorite English versions to compare and use it quite a bit. I also saw somewhere where you can use it for textual criticism by using Greek translation as main version. I have set up and used a little but haven't come to any conclusion on its usefulness. A criticism I have is if you decide to change from your first "base" to another version it doesn't automatically adjust. An example is if I have versions compare to ESV in first column and then include LSB, NIV, NASB, NET, etc and then decide I want NIV to be first I have to basically create a new workspace as moving NET to first column doesn't make it that one everything compares to.

Is that to do with the phrase tagging in the niv as on that day many, the many is the same, its just where the on that day and the coma are placed? Have you tried it with the basic niv?

Larry, in Rick's screen shot there is a cog and down arrow and i remember that there is a setting where you can specify the base, but its many moons since I used compare.

ukfraser Posted Sunday at 09:02 PM Share Posted Sunday at 09:02 PM Thanks Kristin. Hopefully someone from accordance who understands the underlying tagging will chip in on this thread, but im inclined to think it to do with the phrase tagging. Not sure if there is a second g/k one with phrase tagging as well. But would also be interesting to compare with another strongs. Like you, i havent used compare much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks but that doesn't show up in 14.0.10 Mac. I can drag any translation to the first but the original first still shows as the base version. As I recall I reported it a long time ago but it still has the issue. Not a high priority I'm sure and not a deal breaker for the feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
