Also, Audiosnap can be used: (http://www.cakewalk.com/D...oSnap.15.html#1140097) Extracting MIDI timing information from audio Extracting MIDI timing information from audio allows you to: Double an audio rhythm with a MIDI instrument. Replace sounds in an audio clip (commonly used for drum replacement). Notate the rhythm of an audio clip. Align lyrics with an audio rhythm. After you extract the timing information from an audio clip, the timing information is copied to the Clipboard as MIDI note events. You can paste the MIDI notes to a new MIDI track or use the Clipboard as a source for the Groove Quantize command. To extract MIDI timing from an audio clip 1.Select the Smart tool in the Control Bar. 2.Assign the track’s Edit Filter control to Audio Transients. 3.Press A to open the AudioSnap palette. 4.Select the audio clip whose rhythm you want to extract. 5.Do any necessary quantizing, and disable any transient markers that you don’t want to extract (see Quantizing audio and To disable a transient marker). 6.With the clip still selected, click the AudioSnap Options button in the AudioSnap palette to open the AudioSnap Options dialog box. 7.In the Convert to MIDI Note box, choose C3. This is the note most drum synths use for the bass drum. If your favorite synth uses a different note, choose it now. 8.Choose a Note Velocities option: either accept the extrapolated velocities in the audio clip (the Vary With Pulse Level option), or set a constant velocity for the notes in the Set All To Same Value field. 9.Click OK to close the AudioSnap Options dialog box. 10.Click the Copy As MIDI button . This adds the extracted groove to the Clipboard. SONAR copies the audio rhythm to the Clipboard as a MIDI clip, with the same pitch assigned to each note. You can now paste the MIDI notes to a new MIDI track, use the Clipboard as a source for the Groove Quantize command, or save the extracted groove as a Groove Quantize file.

You can use V-Vocal if the singer is accurate, otherwise just transcript the part. It will save you a lot of wasted time.

You can drop Melodyne singletrack as a plugin onto the vocal clip, tidy up the pitches and the timing, delete any unwanted notes and then use the Save to Midi command from the Settings menu.
I do this with guitar clips (strums and picks) to give me a start for string or other synth parts etc.
