Am I missing the obvious on the Composite Gospel?

Should I still be waiting ... and where's the documentation ... or am I being impatient for a resource not yet ready for prime time? I LOVE things that are clause-sentence-paragraph-pericope oriented rather than chapter/verse.

With the release of this dataset https://community.logos.com/forums/t/176098.aspx I got to thinking, Is there a way to quickly find all the material unique to Luke or other gospel?

I think Faithlife will eventually produce a dataset for the gospels (hopefully) but in the meantime can anyone think of a way to find passages unique to a gospel? (aside from scrolling through a parallel bible) 

Mike, the Composite Gospel is a new resource in Logos 8 that I hope will ship relatively soon. It will include an appendix that shows which cross-gospel pericopes (in this analysis) come from which sources. Here's a sneak preview (details may change):

Note this is pericope-level data, not phrase or word-level. This particular pericope is similar to Mt 5:25-26, though Luke's setting is different, as is some of the wording. Determining these cross-gospel alignments is a well-known issue in studying the Gospels, and we're clearly not going to settle all the controversies. But I'm optimistic that this will be useful data with closer integration into the Logos ecosystem.

Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."
