Script Editor 1.9 and earlier have a limit of approximately 32,000
characters -- the exact number varies depending on styling. Script Editor
2.0 has no such limit, in theory, but it's also still very much beta.

In practice, people often run into problems when scripts get too big. What's
too big? Well, debugging can get problematic when you get above about 64,000
characters.

So 1300 lines might be near that, depending very much on the script and your
coding style.

My advice would be to try Script Debugger. It will improve your scripting
life anyway; no serious scripter should be without it anyway.
