When song is saved or loaded 10's of thousand of musicx files (different versions with many the same size) are loaded or generated in the Performances subfolder within the .song file. It's like they are not being purged out. Consequenltly the .song file is ridiculously large due to the amount of files being saved making working with it virtually unusable.

I have never seen this behaviour in years of using Studio One and need to know why this has started happening before I invest any more time trying to compose music!

So, this was down to layers on tracks. When these were deleted the song file went from 70MB to 450K.surprise
