Dear J.D.
I remember doing the same with a big oratorio back in 1991. To join the 3
big parts it took almost 2 days!
My own policy when dealing w. a huge file is to leave it in pieces,
and join up the extracted parts individually using clip files. IMO
it's less work in the long run, and saves end

Hi J.D.
I have been trying to delete (clear) measures in the middle of the file I am
working on. It is like 700 measures long. I have the sensation the Finale
2004 is faster doing this than in Finale 2003.
Why don´t you try to import the whole file into Finale 2004 and see what
happen? Nothing to
Yes, you are right.

I´ll recommend a good brown beer like a Belgian Leffe. If not available then
some Franziskaner Picantus will do.
Now I wonder why composers insist in doing such long opera acts...
Good night, boys and girls.

Well, this does solve problems, but it also means that you

Yup. It's called Data Check, and I do it after
I have to add that in my view the saving times are normal.
Just don´t save too often and cross your fingers.

Back to now:
1) First assign more RAM to Finale. You have plenty enough and that won´t
hurt your system performance at all.
2) Then you have to get a RAM disk utility. You can us

I don't think it is unusual, it may still be considered outrageous.

Have you done a File Maintence thing on the file? I don't remember what

As for size, I have a finale file that is approaching 2 megs. About 200
pages of 12 systems, 4 bars each. Yeah, it
I've been laboring for many months working on an enormous opera composed by
a client, based on Shakespeare's 12th Night. This project started out maybe
4 years ago, back in Finale 2001 or 2002, I can't remember. I decided early
on to break the file into sub-files due to its potential size. Act I
