Possibility of simultaneous display of verses from different Bible translations (BW 10.0 alike)
The BibleWorks 10.0 program has the ability to display multiple Bible translations simultaneously — showing one verse from each selected translation, one under the other, and perfectly synchronized. Would it be possible for Accordance to offer a similar feature?

It's a very useful feature, and I miss it very much in Accordance.

Accordance has it. Use Text Browser. (Click + to add new tab > Text Browser)
OR, somewhat more easily…
Use Live Click settings > Under Verse Lookup choose Text Browser Tab. Now, with Live Click enabled, clicking on a verse reference will open the tab with versions and translations stacked in parallel. (Confusingly, the tab is labelled “Verse Lookup,” but it's the same as the Text Browser.)
Further, you can create a Group of texts. Choose which ones you want and put them in order that you want. Under the Live Click settings, indicate that group.
I'm an old BW person, but one advantage that Accordance has is that in the Text Browser/Verse Lookup you can choose to display more than one verse. (Look near the top for the Verses option.)
What Accordance cannot do that BW did so excellently (and why I still run BW on my Win11 system) is the interleaved export of select versions. I've asked for this multiple times.

Many thanks to both of you, Fabian & Mark Hoffman, it's great to know about this option in Accordance.
