Hi, there's definitly no max length for ly-files. You may run out of memory on your computer, though, mostly with a 32-bit windows system. I'd offer you send me the file(s) privately and I'll take a look. Because I own a weak laptop, I learned to optimize things ... Ofcourse I can't warrant success. Furthermore I'm on Linux, perhaps my results (if any) will not be portable. Worth a try, though. I'm at work currently, so it will last half a day before I could start... Cheers, Harm
