It used to be many versions ago, that Finale didn't handle large files well at all. For me this goes way back to v2.5 - 2.6. I got into the habit of breaking large projects into individual files out of necessity. Then Coda did something to the file format and/or saving algorithm and made that pretty much a thing of the past. Personally, I feel doing them in individual files is a major PITA. I am currently working on a huge opera project that was started several years ago in an older version of Finale. The first movement is in 6 separate files and the second movement is in only 2 files. The client wants consecutive page and measure numbers, and with all of the edits coming in from the opera company, keeping all this straight is ludicrous. At this point I am reluctant to try and meld the files into one large file simply due to its state of completion, complexity, deadlines, etc. If I had it to do over again, I would have made the entire project just one file, and been done with it.
