On related note (pun intended),   how does one modify or straighted those squiggly lines that go through a note in Melodyne.   I assume those have something to do with the attack/release of a note being sung?   I have a note that has one of those squiggly lines through it going upward, and it makes the pitch sound just a tad wonky at the end of the release of the note.   Is there a Melodyne tool to adjust those too?  (remember I'm using 2.1.2 Essential)

It is well worth it to upgrade to standard for the "DNA" thingy, and I bet that's what it takes for the timing tool as well....
 
 
 
 
Or not

Essentials is nice but to get the full use you need editor.

You can also extend a note without Melodyne. Split it within the clip, and use SONAR's timing tool to stretch the end. The shortcut is to grab the right edge of the clip while holding ctrl; the edge turns into a yellow line, then drag to the right. This gives you a preview which doesn't sound very good, but bouncing the clip to itself invokes the offline rendering algorithm, which is pretty much as good as it gets with current technology.
 
If you don't want to stretch the attack, split further into the note, do the above, and then crossfade some of the attack into the stretched section. 

Thanks all.  I found that with Essentials - most of the tools are there but either hidden or scaled back somehow.   Found the Timing Tool though it wasn't at all on my toolbar or anywhere to be found.  If I highlight a note blob, and mouse over the very left or right edge of it, my cursor turns into the Timing Tool.  :)
