Text Comparison Between NASB & LSB
Is there a way to do Text Comparison between NASB & LSB for a list of passages that I provide?

The Text Comparison Tool will compare verses in the two translations.
But you can't feed it a list of passages to work on - it just looks at a contiguous set of verses.

Please consider adding this feature to Logos. It could even been connected with the Passages List feature and be a very valuable feature of Logos. Thank you!

Your suggestion regarding TC>list of passages, for over a decade (since Logos4 at least) seemed so obvious. I have my own Bible software; this was an early 'feature' since I use it constantly to compare how the OL varies across passages and across versions/mss's.
I'm no pastor, but I've observed 'ours' at least does quite a bit of word-choosing across versions for a series of passages in his sermons (to better express meaning). I've always been surprised Logos didn't offer it in the L4 version (single/multiple passages) or the later major update (scrolling on/off).
But the Passage List sort of hints at this. As I'm new to Logos (since 2005), I didn't figure it out this morning (image below). But clicking around I could get multiple passages and multiple versions. Just no colored differences.
In the image below, I was trying to extract myself from adding passages (must be some way). And not sure 'what' happened to my version choices. It even added Egyptian too!!
And a random example of comparing mss's for a passage list (if not aware):

You can sort of achieve it by doing an inline bible search in the NASB for a* for All Bible Text and change All Passages to the passage list.
I tried with just * but was taking forever, so assuming each passage has at least one a in it, this should return all results.
You can then use Multiview to open the LSB.
They dont perfectly line up always, and the search can take a little while, but it may be ok for you.
Here is an image - the passage list I selected has been converted into the individual passages when I started the search, but you can find your passage lists at the bottom of the dropdown.
