The Parallel Panes Area: Parallel Tab

The Parallel panes are somewhat different from the text panes in the Search tabClosed The core tab used to search Bible texts, it consists of a search entry area and a search results area.

Each Parallel pane displays a different passage from the selected pericopeClosed A set of passages (one or more verses) which have been identified as a unit (for example, parallel passages). All panes use the text version (or versions) set in the Search Entry area. The number of panes that appear when a Parallel tab initially opens is determined by the default settings.

Other differences include the Passage selector on the Pane bar, behavior of scrolling, and absence of a Navigation bar.
