Splitting Blobs in Melodyne

There are a number of reasons to split blobs into separate notes in Melodyne (as well as cases for removing the separation).
 
I often want to split the front of the blob so I can reduce the volume of a plosive.  Melodyne seems to have its own logic about how small a piece I can separate.  Sometimes I can do what I need and sometimes not.
 
Does anyone know what the rule is or how I can change it?  (In Sonar, for example, where you can split clips depends on the snap setting, if any.)
 
Fixing pops is much easier and more flexible in Melodyne than working directly with the audio clips, *if* I can get the split where I want it.
 
As always, thanks for being such a helpful bunch.  (Yes, even you, Anderton. )

If you hold ALT while moving the split point, you should have complete control of placement.

Have you tried double clicking on the blob (where you want to split it?)

I am not my computer, but the time snap settings are under 'Options' and then under 'Time....'
The default is always 1/4, so I almost always have to change it. Now I would like to change the default setting.

Watch!  That!  Video!

Thanks for trying to help, everyone.

• The video is just showing what I do everyday.  It did not really address splitting off very small segments.
• To the best of my knowledge, Melodyne Editor does not have a snap setting.  I have set the time grid to the smallest units. Snap is OFF in Sonar.
• The ALT key has no effect.
• I have a license for the bigger polyphonic version and have it installed on a laptop.  (Long story.) Maybe t has more function.

I'll address this another way.

I see what you mean.  If I set the grid at 32nds and zoom in, I can split a note within that 32nd zone only two or three times.  Dragging the borders of those notes causes them to snap back or forth in set increments.  Looks like a 96th increment is the limit.
 
Added: I have the full Studio (with Polyphonic) version and so it is no different (result wise) than the (Editor/Assistant) version you are referring to here.

On my version, there's a 'note' icon (top right I think) that turns snapping on/off - I'm not near the studio at the moment so I can't check/screenshot.....

You are absolutely correct. Clicking on the note icon activates or deactivates the grid.
Like I said you win some you lose some. Sometimes I feel like no one is actually paying attention to my comments and that's my fault really. I blame no one but myself. I need to choose which threads I respond to and which to ignore.

The bundled version of Melodyne is a like a frustrating man to woman argument, where Melodyne is the woman. It's OK for basic stuff or good if you having nothing else. I'm not sure a seasoned Melodyne user will appreciate it's austerity.
