When it comes to rendering and working on the scene at the same time. It might be simpler to open a second instance of C4D to work on it while your other instance is rendering the scene.
Right click on the C4D shortcut icon and edit the Properties->Target field so you can run multiple instances of C4D.
Example: "C:\Program Files\MAXON\CINEMA 4D R13\CINEMA 4D 64 Bit.exe" -parallel
This will let you work on the same scene while it's rendering in the other instance of C4D. But you will probably have choppy performance. So to help with that you can limit the number of threads used for rendering.
That will allow smoother editing of the scene in the other opened instance of C4D.
In the preferences. Go to Renderer->Custom Number of threads
Set it to 1 or maybe 2 threads. How high you can set it will depend on your computer system.
