Here is a screen shot (if I've done it right). The pops are at about 6.50 and 7.20. I tried to raise the pitch of this note by 2%.

Most web browsers do not display TIFF images, so I've converted it to a .PNG image.

That looks like a continuous sound with no gaps (silences) or beats to hide the "join", which makes it tricky to apply effects that change the waveform without creating clicks.

What you will probably need to do is to duplicate the selection to a new track, apply the effect to the duplicate, then crossfade from the original to the duplicate and back again at the end.

A simpler method that may work (it's difficult to tell just by looking) is that you may be able to use the Repair effect to smooth out the clicks http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/repair.html

OK I'll support that... Find Zero Crossings seems tedious but doesn't stop me recommending it as one of the tools for the job.

+1 I'd support that as a FR too.
