The default secondary font is GFS Didot (Greek). I will be explaining based on the “Paper Greek Base” template. If you have downloaded one of my templates, this will be easier to follow. Give it a try, I think you will find it easy and fast! Some things are just easier to explain when you can show it, but when it is written down it looks overwhelming.
This may look very complicated but it is not as bad as it looks. But what if your writing demands three or more different type faces (e.g., Greek, Hebrew, Arabic, etc.)? Until the tertiary font option is included in a future upgrade, I have come up with a work around. The issue is that Mellel only provides a primary and secondary font option. But someone finally asked a question about it on the blog, so I felt obligated to finally put it down in writing. This is probably something I should have written long ago but the thought of writing about it delayed me from doing it. While there really is no substitute for buying a synopsis (some include a textual apparatus, other possible parallels from non-canonical sources, helpful indices, etc.) this is a good place to start.

If anyone knows how to create these “chapter markers” in a PDF, I’m all ears.

The PDF copy does not contain an outline of the pericope divisions in the side panel, so you will have to scroll to the desired pericope. If you make a mistake, throw it away and print off another (something I wouldn’t suggest doing with your $70+ synopsis). Furthermore, for anyone who has to turn in a copy of their colored synopsis to a professor, this makes it very easy. The PDF copy would be beneficial for students who have been assigned to color a pericope but cannot afford the buy a synopsis. Another very helpful feature in Mellel is the side outline panel, which allows you to quickly find any pericope in the document, without scrolling through the entire document. Also, errors are easily corrected! For help on doing this, see the Synopsis Coloring page on this site. If you have Mellel, you can set up the colors in the style variations, which makes coloring fast. (NB, the pagination is cross-referenced to its place in my document, not as it is in the Aland Synopsis.) Also, many of the pericopes are cross-referenced by versification and pagination. One alteration can be found at pericope 227 on Divorce. For instance, a few places in the Sermon on the Mount I included the relevant portion from the Didache. Every now and then I have digressed and supplied different parallels or arrangements. In addition, I have included random pericopes that I felt are of importance or that I simply needed to color for my own research.įor the majority of this synopsis I have followed the model of the Aland Synopsis.
It also includes much of Luke’s central section (Lk 10.25–17.6) and two appendices which follow the Didache’s sectio evangelica (1.3b–2.1) and the Apocalypse (16). The new version includes the complete Sermon on the Mount, Eschatological Discourse, and Passion Narrative. I was able to increase it from 14 pages to 109 pages. Last semester I had a chance to devote a lot of time to the development of my synopsis in Mellel.
