Re: Composer Capacity
Howdy Ralph,
You shouldn't have any problem with the score at this size, provided that your machine has enough memory. Working memory (the RAM) of your machine is the biggest issue.
A bit of expansion for those who are interested: There is a current "cutoff" of 500 measures when you're first setting up a score, so that a machine with low memory won't choke up front. However, for huge scores you can then add measures in increments of up to 1000 using Measure/Add(Insert) measures. It will ask you if you really want to add that many, and you can just click the "Yes" button.
Another memory issue can be in the "Undo" editing list. Composer will hold as many edit tasks in memory as it can. If you notice that things are starting to slow down (eg. you do something and it seems like it's taking longer than usual), try using the "Edit/Clear Undo History" command. This will free up memory, and make things faster again.
Have fun, and I'm looking forward to this!
ttfn,
Sherry
