Phrase Library Size Limits?

I've been making a lot of libraries.

 

It occurred to me that there might be some limits to the size of the libraries. I'd hate to lose all my work!

 

Can anyone please tell me if there are any issues like this?

I don't think there is a limit.  But don't put too much in otherwise it takes a LONG time to load..  I save each step along the way as I'm building it.  When finished I erase the previous saves.

Hmmm ... not clear what you mean. Is there a difference between libraries in HN2 and SFP/ SFE?

 

I'm not seeing where load time is an issue ... unless you are loading and unloading instruments as you go along in some way.

There is no limit, but currently a library gets loaded into memory, so you should keep it at a reasonable size.

Thank you Andre. I was mostly worried about corruption issues with a large database.

 

I think I am a lucky guy with a dual, dual Xeon 3.0Ghz machine with 16 Gb of RAM ... so loaded memory is not really a concern. ;)
