Citations Bug; Author not listed

Accordance has improved on Bibliography & Citation, but I was frustrated today wanting to know who is the author of a commentary on Qohelet.  Here is what I got for citation:

 

"Adrian Schenker, ed., Biblia Hebraica Quinta, Fascicle 18: General Introduction and Megilloth, Accordance electronic ed. (Stuttgart: Deutsche Bibelgesellschaft, 2004), paragraph 3300. accord://read/BHQ_Commentary#3300"

 

It would be so nice to know who wrote this commentary in the series; Or did Schenker do the whole set?  But if Schenker wrote the whole set, he would not be cited only as editor of the set, but as the author.

 

As a citation this seems to me to be a bug as it apparently gives an improper citation.

At the start of the Qohelet commentary it says: prepared by Y.A.P. Goldman. I am not sure how authors of commentary series are tagged in multi-author commentaries, but if this can be fixed relatively easily, I am sure it will be.

The BHQ text is edited by one person but the apparatus commentary is compiled and authored by someone else in each edition. I do not believe this is included in the Accordance modules for some reason.

Thanks for the hope for a fix.  When one is looking at multiple commentaries, it is not an efficient use of time to have to go to the start of a book commentary to find the author of a book in a set.  I seem to recall a prediction that you were going to get the command-F function working in Accordance, was it 10 years ago? I hope this one goes better.  I must say that this author has an interesting name for a commentator.
