[solved] Editor crashing - seemingly when I enter a certain amount of text?

[drmindflip]

I found the answer in the topic below. There is a limit to the text each buffer can handle in the GUI - but putting code in a separate file and using run_file is hopefully the solution

Maximum characters limit per buffer?

Hi , I’m working on a big project with Sonic Pi, designing it to playing live music in a dance project. The code defines a complex functionality for a MIDI keyboard. While coding, I found that the code won’t run if it contains over a certain number of characters (8846, in my case), even if the characters beyond the limit are commented out. Has anyone ever come upon such an issue?
