Yes, like chopping the track up and using clip FX bin (or automation) except relying on Melodyne blobs instead of chopping up the track.

Exactly, and it's a lot less effort to drag blobs than apply transposition individually to a bunch of cut-up clips.
 
The next thing I'm going to try is really twisted but I think it will work. 
 
So can I put on my resume that I found a Sonar technique scook didn't know about? That would definitely enhance my reputation 

Someone should demonstrate this in a video. I nominate the man who brought it up!

I'd like to know more about the technique to deal with piezo quack Craig if that's possible / link.

I'd like to know more about the technique to deal with piezo quack Craig if that's possible / link.

It will be published within the next week on Gibson.com. There will also be ProChannel presets for Gibson's J-35. The J-35 doesn't have as "narrow" a quack as some other guitars, so it's easy to fix with a little cutting. Other guitars need more work, but the basic principle is the same.

Thanks, I'll be on the lookout for it.

That (the quack) certainly falls into the "very handy" camp for me, with Sophie, my American Eskimo, a little breed that barks loudly and regularly .....consistently? ......all the time! LOL
   The option to double and widen the stereo image sounds exciting, too.

Well, it sorta worked...what I wanted to do was play all the same note on guitar but with the desired phrasing, thenmove the blobs around to create a melody. However, any interesting melody required moving some blobs to an interval that was out of the "comfort sound" for sound quality. Another issue was all the little resonances and sympathetic vibrations in the guitar, which I'd never really noticed that much before, became transposed and therefore obvious.
 
However I did experiment some more with transposing chords and doing general transpositions of under a semitone, and it really does work amazingly well with a polyphonic sound sound. I also found out that parts didn't always require a hard attack - some chords that had more of a strummed beginning worked equally well. Slight pitch transpositions also worked well for adding interest to background vocals.
 
Fun stuff with Melodyne...I gotta upgrade to the Editor version!! The more I use Melodyne, the more I like it.

I am surprised you don't have it. I figured you would, "knowing the boss and all"! LOL
I can't wait to hear/find out what you discover with that!

I don't upgrade third party versions immediately so that articles and tips use the same setup that most users have. For example the recent blog posts I did for vocal month on ADT and generating harmonies only needed Essential. However...with all the cool Melodyne tips floating around that are based around Editor, upgrading from Essential just jumped to the top of my personal stack. Gonna do it tonight...
