Because every time I have tried to increase from 50, Legacy, hours later, returns the message that it cannot do it because it's too many people (or numbers, or something). I forget the actual wording, because I am unwilling to tie up my computer for that long just to have it return the message. The default may be 999, but not for my file. Over many Legacy versions, the same problem has persisted.
Only Relationship Calculator/Set Relationships that has this problem. Ancestry Colors quickly finds he is my ancestor, as does Direct Line Bolding. Therefore, one would think that limiting the Blood Relationships to 1 would work. It does not. That is why I think it is a mathematical problem - Legacy can't figure out how, say, a 29th GGA is the child of a 26th GGA. And, with no capability to do a direct ancestry or descent, about which the OP was asking, I have a correctly colored, bolded, direct ancestor who cannot be shown as such by Relationship Calculator.

It seems to me that with 29 generations you will exceed that number by far. The default is, of course, 999.
