Band In A Box will convert a monophonic vocal to midi. Is this what you are after?
The routine is called "Audio Transcribe (monophonic)" and it's found under the "Audio" menu.
Simply open (or record) the vocal line so that it is on the Audio track. Once the vocal is present, then it's possible to create a midi file from it by selecting the above option. If you have BIAB for Windows, you will also have Realband, and Realband can also do this.

You could try Melodyne or AnthemScore, they’re pretty solid for vocals-to-MIDI. If you already have Band-in-a-Box, their "Audio Transcribe" feature does the job too.

Hi:
I have isolated the vocals of a Hank Williams song called Jambalaya.
I tried melodyne 5 but did not like the results.
What is the procedure to transcribe audio to midi with Band in the Box 2025 Ultra?
(I clicked the transcribe to midi checkbox in the audio edit section but I got no results.)

I'm from the Czech Republic and I translate English using Google translator. So maybe I understand it differently. If I want to convert my singing to midi, I've been using Synthesizer V Pro from Dreamtonics for a little over a year. The results are perfect, and I can also intervene in them myself. But of course, it's a new investment.

(I clicked the transcribe to midi checkbox in the audio edit section but I got no results.) May I ask what was wrong with the results? I have tried a number of audio to MIDI converters and Melodyne was the best. I have used it a number of times with minimal errors. Remember a MIDI track converted from an audio track will only have the notes with most if not all articulations removed.

Suddenly I realized how many proctologists are on the road.

This actually works quite well : It turns your mike into a MIDI input device. https://vochlea.com/

For my singing style and bass position, Synthesizer V Pro is better than Melodyne and although the notes played by the Melodyne bass guitar are practically flawless. When singing in the lower octaves, I try to intonate as best as possible, but from C#2 below I sing with the Growl technique and Melodyne has a problem with it and the notes are placed higher than they actually are and sometimes I use this technique even for F2. Synthesizer V Pro estimates notes allright up to B1 and if the note is lower than B1, it leaves it at B1. I have the AI voice Asterian, to whom Eric Hollaway lent his voice, who uses the Growl technique in the bass position at a professional level (I only at an amateur level). If I correct the notes below B1, Asterian can sing it. I can check this by running it simultaneously with my voice and I adjust his voice so that there is as little vibrato as possible in the singing and the intonation curve passes through the notes in the piano roll. Then I export Asterian's singing to midi. I'm probably a little different for your purposes and it would require confirmation from more Synthesizer V Pro users (and they are here). My singing style is outside the mainstream and outside the development interest, which I completely understand and the fact that Synthesizer V Pro can handle it is only thanks to Eric Hollaway. My voice doesn't work with voice enhancement like it is used for example via Audimee. I wrote it in more detail because I'm not sure that Synthesizer V Pro could suit you and now I'm going to struggle with translating it into English via Google translator.

One issue not addressed is that it is somewhat different when processing a monophonic vocal into midi than splitting a vocal out of an old recording. While stem splitters today have come a long way there are always going to be a few artifacts in the vocal so it may or may not "color" the result a bit.
You may have to work with it a bit to clean it up first, but that will depend on the actual results you get from splitting out the vocal.
