I tend to have a split between every verse, chorus, solo etc. It's easier to handle that way. If you don't like the split point then merge the clips together and split again, you may need to remove the regionfx first to do this. I always clone the track first so I have a copy before I treat it with melodyne which can come in useful in case of screwups.
Might be better advice to follow I'm not on X3 right now.
Thanks...
