Workspace ideas for Study Bibles

[EricC]

How do you power users lay out your workspaces for Study Bibles + the Bible text? I'd like two Bibles (English + foreign language) on the left and then some efficient way for three Study Bible note modules on the right. Or I guess I could put them in one zone (is that what Acc calls them) and just switch between the tabs. But I'm thinking that probably someone has some nifty and convenient way to do this that is better than anything I'd come up with.

 

Thanks in advance!

Dr. J (or others),

 

Do you have a workspace (or workspaces) you use with Study Bibles that you would be willing to share?

 

Thanks,
Eric

I don't know if this helps, but this is my "Study Bible's" saved workspace. It works great for me.  I always enjoy seeing other peoples' workspaces.

Thank you, OSchrock.

 

What I would ideally like (edit: now) to do is have the Study Bibles in a separate zone from the Bible zone, but linked so they sync with wherever I am in the Bible zone. Reason: then I could use tabs and put all of the SBs in there. As it is now, I can't figure out how to easily and quickly look over relevant info from 10+ SBs.

 

Maybe someone else will also give me some ideas.

 

Thanks again!

 

Edit: I noticed that in my 2015 most I only wanted 3 SBs. That's changed now since I've got several more. Unfortunately, I don't use them much, since I haven't figured out how to get to them conveniently.

You can tie tabs to a Text, as in the following example:

This is the one I use most when using Study Bibles: the Info Pane.

Also useful for other tools like commentaries.

Not at a computer with Accordance so I cannot send a screenshot. I do not like lots of resources open and often times the links are for a pericope rather than a verse. So when things are linked together things move in ways I do not like. I use something similar to  Hans in the post above except I do have Greek/Hebrew in the same zone.

 

The Info Pane give immediate access to all your study bibles so they are right there, just not all open and linked. It is, for me, the perfect solution.

Im using a 15" mbp and screen real estate is important so I tend to link and keep my translations with the appropriate study bibles together with the bible notes in separate tab. I know Accordance texts work with any study bible but the notes do have a relationship with the translation.

 

My first tab has an info pane for my library resources linked to the nrsv so I can see commentaries etc as john and hans have already said above. the second tab has parallel translations and everything is linked so I can flick (but its easy enough to switch off linking plus I haven't got an nrsv specific study bible yet).

 

Some may disagree with my nt tab but it works for me though the english text gets changed frequently.
