Has anyone tested clause-level searching across NA28 and the LXX in both Accordance 14 and Logos 10 for classroom use? I’m standardizing an exegetical methods module for spring 2025 and need reproducible queries (e.g., ἐν Χριστῷ constructions) plus clean SBL-style footnote exports without manual cleanup.
and need reproducible queries (e.g., ἐν Χριστῷ constructions) plus clean SBL-style Logos 10: run a Morph Search lemma:ἐν WITHIN 1 WORD lemma:Χριστός across NA28 + Rahlfs, save it, and your exports in SBL are cleaner than what I’ve gotten from Accordance 14. Sticking to morph+proximity keeps NA28/LXX parity, whereas Accordance’s syntax tooling diverges and I’ve had to tidy citations; do you need clause-roles, or will PP patterning cover spring 2025?
My take: I’d lean toward the simplest next step and see if it changes anything this week — if not, you’ve got a clear case to escalate. What would block you from trying that?
Quick datapoint: Logos 10’s Clause Search is solid on NA28 but doesn’t cover the LXX, so for “ἐν Χριστῷ” you’ll want a Morph Search over a NA28+Rahlfs collection and save both queries for reproducibility… For the SBL bit, set Program Settings > Citation Style = SBL and export to DOCX — footnotes come out clean, whereas Accordance 14 still needs a little punctuation cleanup (); details: https://support.logos.com/hc/en-us/articles/360018663771-Citations-in-Logos. Would that workflow fit your spring 2025 module, or do you need true clause-level on the LXX too?
I’ve had the most reproducible results in Accordance 14 by saving a Greek Construct that models a PP: preposition “ἐν” with object lemma “Χριστός” (dative), then running the same construct against both GNT28 and the tagged LXX. For citations, set Preferences > Bibliography to SBL and use Copy As > Citation — clean footnotes with no cleanup, while Logos still slips in quirks that drive me nuts; quick how‑to: Sources of Support - Accordance. Want me to share the Construct template?
One thing that helps: in Logos, uncheck ‘Match accents/diacritics’ and ‘Match case’ on the morph query so ‘ἐν Χριστῷ’ reproduces across NA28 and the LXX, then set Citation Style to SBLHS (2nd ed.) with ‘Copy footnotes’ on for clean exports (https://support.logos.com/hc/en-us/articles/360016607092-Program-Settings). Tiny caveat: relaxing accents can widen hits, so I add a visual filter to spotlight datives — would that workflow work for your module?
For reproducible “ἐν Χριστῷ” across GNT + LXX, I’ve had students use a Logos Visual Filter that matches ἐν followed by lemma:Χριστός (dat.) and share it via a Faithlife group so everyone gets identical hits. Footnotes are where I’ve wasted time — — so the Copy Bible Verses tool with style “SBL” and destination “Footnotes” is the cleanest export I’ve found (how‑to: https://support.logos.com/hc/en-us/articles/360016552151-Copy-Bible-Verses); in Accordance, set Preferences > Bibliography to SBLHS and use “Copy as Citation” as the closest equivalent. Do you need this standardized on both macOS and Windows for spring 2025?
