Dear Matthew, IMO this problem is related with the Undo/Redo files. Try to turn it off or reduce the Undo/redo levels to 1 to see what happen (but do a copy of the file first with a new name!). Also you may benefit of using a RAM disk to store the temporary files (no idea how you do that in Windows).
Hope it helps a bit. Javier > I recently completed a piece that was composed > pretty much entirely within Finale.
