Accordance 8.2.3 Upgrade
Accordance point releases prove to be a great value for registered users, as they are always free and include nice enhancements (apart from fixing bugs). The latest upgrade is out, and here is the official list of enhancements:
Scripture References in Instant Details
- When the cursor is over a multi-verse reference in a Tool or User Notes window, the Instant Details box now displays up to 8 verses of the text.
Spaces Between Book Names and Numbers
- When entering verse references it is no longer necessary to avoid entering a space between a book number and name, so that 2 Kings is now acceptable anywhere in a list of references. However, now you must add a comma or semi-colon after the last number of the previous reference so that it is not interpreted as a book number. Thus Gen 1:1; Ex 1:1 must be used rather than Gen 1:1 Ex 1:1.
- Copy as Citation and Copy as References now automatically add a space between a book number and name, so that 2Kings becomes 2 Kings. This is separate from the setting of Use SBL Standard notation in Preferences/Appearance.
Other Text Export Enhancements
- Accordance now converts to the the correct Unicode characters when exporting NA27 apparatus sigla. Slight changes were also made in the “stripping” of characters in Greek and Syriac.
Reference List Window
- Control-command-R adds the selected verse(s) to the top item in the Add Selection To submenu, making it easier to add verses to a Reference List. The limit of verses has been raised from 1000 to 10,000.
Keyboard Shortcuts
- Command-+ and Command- – now resize the text in the Analysis, Concordance, Table, Parsing, and Text Differences windows, as they already did in the main windows.
- Control-0 changes the current search text to the tenth item in the pop-up menu.
Version 8.2.3 can be downloaded here.
