I've been tinkering around with Melodyne (2.1.2, Sonar X3) - and was wondering if there's a way to lengthen sung notes, even just a little bit?   I have a good take, with a note or two that just a got a tiny bit clipped b/c I breathed in the wrong place.
 
Not a big deal, because I could punch myself in and re-sing it, but was just wondering since I was in Melodyne if there's a way to slight length clipped notes?

Yes, the Timing Tool is what you are looking for. There are hot spots within the blob while using it (to adjust the lead, entire blob, or tail), and other options (like holding down ALT while dragging to ignore the timing grid).

The timing tool is indeed the trick. I know we all love to jump into the action, but I think Melodyne is one of those pograms that it is well worth reading the whole manual for. It really isnt terribly long and you'll be amazed at what you can do. You will save time in the long run.

weird I don't seem to have the Timing Tool in my toolbar?

Just to double check did you click on the timing tool link in mettelus' post?
 
It is in the Melodyne toolbar - not the sonar toolbar.

yeah I did - on my Melodyne tool bar I don't have nearly that many buttons as it described in that link and definitely no icon for the Timing Tool.   I only have three buttons on my Melodyne toolbar - the Arrow, the Hand, and the Magnifying glass.  
 
I'd attach a screenshot, but when I click on the Attach Images in the upper right here at the Forum,   the "Gallery/Upload" tab is completely blank with no area for me to attach.

You need to post images to a sharing site, like Photbucket or similar.
 
Grab hold of the link code and paste it into the image link when replying to messages

It's Melodyine Essential 2.1.2  -- the one bundled with Sonar X3.

I'm only using the bundled Melodyne also (Essentials) and don't have the timing tool icon. You can still however do exactly what you are after by using the main tool (the arrow.)
 
If you zoom in and click on the blob you want to work on, move the mouse around the blob and you'll see the editing options change as you move around it. You will be able to shorten or lengthen notes as you wish (within reason!)
