https://community.logos.com/discussion/246513/is-it-possible-to-get-a-list-of-lemmas-in-a-passage-sorted-by-frequency-in-the-whole-bible

As I read through the Bible in Greek, I would like to prepare to read a chapter by reviewing the rare words in that chapter before I read it. I would like a list of the words in that chapter, sorted by frequency in the entire New Testament. Unfortunately, there is no way to do that currently. The best way is to create a word list for a particular chapter, and Merge (Intersect) with a word list of all the lemmas in the New Testament. However, this combines frequency counts, so it makes the resulting frequency counts inaccurate. As an example, if there is a word that's used only 4 times in the New Testament but they all happen to be in this chapter, the frequency count would be 8, but if there is another word that is used 4 times in the New Testament but only once in this chapter, the frequency count would be 5.

My suggestion is to add another option to "Filter" by reference, selected text, another word list, or clipboard, and the ability to clear the filter.

My usual way to get the information you want is using the Concordance tool. It does not highlight, however, but provides as list

So, if I do a concordance on the whole New Testament, can I filter to get just the words in a particular passage (but keep the count from the whole New Testament)?

Or, if I do a concordance based on a particular passage, is there a way to sort by the count from the whole New Testament?

I'm just trying to understand if there's something I'm missing, because I don't think the Concordance Tool is able to do what I'm hoping to do.

Citation reference at the beginning of the verse is gone
Hi, I have just learned that the new version 40 of Logos now includes the verse address after the verse. In all previous versions the verse has been at the beginning of the verse. I cut and paste extensively for writing projects and this new change is creating much more work for me. Is it possible to add an option to…
Clippings from print books
I get clippings was designed for logos books. However, having a large print book collection, it would be nice to add quotes from my print books to my clippings files to use later in the same way as the others. Also would love to hear other work arounds for this.
A Record of Paid for Resources that have yet to be Delivered
I'm sure this topic has been raised before, but I can't find it. I'm about to pull the trigger on the NIV Application Collection, however I'm experiencing feelings of hesitancy as one of the two resources I will gain is not available yet, but is promised prompt download once it is ready. Problem. I've been down this road…
Page break in Sermon Builder for Sermon Mode
Anyone who uses the turn page mode (not scroll) in the sermon mode will be familiar with this: the heading is sometimes at the bottom of the page and the text continues on the next page. A page break (similar to Word) would allow a new section to begin on a new page. - That's what I suggest.
