You must dedicate a separate MIDI channel for each string section.  Go to
the Instrument List window and define different instruments for Vln I, Vln
II, Viola, etc., each using a different MIDI channel (even if they use the
same GM string patch).

Though I'm on a PC, something is seriously amiss with a file size of 135 MB,
which is undoubtedly what is slowing you down.  I have a large orchestral
piece of 100+ pages and 1000+ measures, and the file size is only 1.1 MB.
Have you tried Remove Deleted Items under Data Check, Save As, or even cut
and paste what you've entered so far into a new doc?
