You can split the songs on your Micro BR by using the Track Copy feature described on pages 53 to 55 of the Micro BR Manual, 3rd edition to copy each take to the start of a separate track. First, you'll need to scan through your recording and take note of the exact start and end times (or measures) of each take, as you'll need to enter these as Track Copy parameters. In step 3 on page 53, you can specify a different destination track for each take. In step 4 on page 54, you can specify "00:00:00-0.00" or measure "001-1" for the "To" parameter so that the copied take will start at the beginning of the track.

An alternate way of splitting your takes is to export the entire track to a WAV file, then use Audacity to view it and split it at the appropriate points.

No. You don't necessarily have to master to export. The procedure on page 112 of the manual describes how to export tracks to WAV or MP3 without mastering. Or, you can use the BR Wave Converter to export the tracks. The Wave Converter is faster and doesn't require any space on the memory card to store the converted tracks.
