questions about Melodyne - SOLVED

In my vocal track I have notes here and there I want to adjust.   I have split several sections of my lead vocal track because of noise issues in between singing.    When I open Melodyne, I highlight an area of the vocal track that needs adjusting.   But later in the song there are more areas that I want to adjust. 
 
Having highlighted one section, it doesn't allow me to adjust any notes other than what is highlighted in that particular section.  Do I have to keep opening Melodyne every time I want to adjust a note in another section?   That doesn't seem right.   How do I open Melodyne once and adjust all the notes I need to in all sections of the vocal track?
 
Thanks!

Melodyne is applied to whatever clips you have selected not the entire track, unless you have selected the entire track. If I understand you correctly you are only selecting part of the track, so yes to edit a later part of the track that you have not selected then you have to open another instance of melodyne.
 
FWIW I think this is the way that most people would recommend working anyway.

You might find it easier to work with smaller clips though.  You just create a region FX for each clip, edit in Melodyne and then render it.
 
I do all my editing by phrase basically.  I don't want the whole vocal open at once because its too much information (I only listen to a phrase at a time.)  It also ensure that there is some variability in the way I edit.  I move all pitches and amplitudes manually to try to keep some feel, even taking things a bit more "out of tune" to create a bit of tension or drama.

^ +1 exactly how I work.

Rendering = bounce to clip = makes changes permanent and closes melodyne.
 
I use Ctrl+b for this, but I can't remember if I set that up or if it is one of the default key bindings.

OK, I'm trying to understand.   "Bounce to clip" - this is done by selecting all the clips and right clicking on them (I'm not on my recording computer right now) to make the smaller clips one long one.   Then I open Melodyne.  Correct?

It can be one clip or multiple clips, but yes. As I said I have ctrl+b set to do this so it's ctrl+m to open melodyne and then ctrl+b to bounce/render. Easy to remember and I find it a better workflow than the other methods.
 
BTW you don't have render/bounce each clip as you go, I often have several open at once, but melodyne has been known to get a bit flaky/crashy if you have too many open instances on the go at once, so it's just a way of protecting against that.

Is there a tutorial on this?  I clicked on one small section and opened Melodyne.  When I was done, I closed it in order to click on another section and open Melodyne again.  And this is when Sonar crashed.   
 
Thanks!

I think you are skipping a step.
Made a short video.

All the best.

Thanks, everyone, for your help!  I really appreciate it!

Good idea.   Thanks!

Unfortunately, I didn't do it with the first song  (although it turned out well).  But I will do it from now on.
 
Thanks!

Thanks, Steve!
