Text critical markers in parallel text

There was an error rendering this rich post.

When I have the Nestle-Aland Greek text set as a parallel text to an English Bible, the text-critical markers do not show up in the parallel window with the Nestle-Aland text. I'm sure I'm missing something simple here, but is there a switch to turn on the appearance of the text-critical signs for the Greek text in the parallel window? FWIW, I get the same issue when I use BHS as a parallel text — no text-critical signs appear. Thanks

When the texts are parallel panes, the toolbar commands apply to the main text. Try opening the NA28 or BHS as their own tabs, then turn on apparatus indicators. They should show up in the parallel pane too.

Thanks, Jonathan. That's a good workaround. For the time being, I'm using a floating window with each text open and set to the same link set. But perhaps some day Logos will include the ability for parallel texts to have more display options.

These settings are settings for the resource (in this case, the NA28) and will be remembered any time you open the NA28 again. You only have to do this once.

I assume we're actually talking Multi-Text … which is due for some major surgery (buggy).

In addition to the cited issue, there's others. I have visual filters for author-analysis (commentaries, etc), but to see them, I have to also analyze the NT and OT writers (Bible as leader)! Interestingly, the ancient writers didn't use so many wiggle-words. Here's Paul in modern scholar-speak:

BASED ON OUR PREVIOUS CONCLUSIONS, In order that unto MANY IN the nations, I THINK the blessing of Abraham| might come about in Jesus Christ,—

In order that the REPORTED promise of the Spirit, we might receive through means of the faith OR SOMETHING VERY SIMILAR.

(I am surprised Paul does use 'might' but specialized use when translated.)
