Thanks David.

Yes on the piano tracks I haven't found one yet that doesn't have a midi attached to it, I think it's probably because they played all of the piano on electronic pianos and captured the MIDI by default for all of the recordings.

I could be wrong about this but I highly doubt they mic'ed any real pianos.

At any rate if you're in band in a box all you have to do is solo the track and save the file as MIDI and you have that track as MIDI.

Or if you're in Real Band, you can simply generate a track and make sure you have the generate a real chart item checked as well and it will provide the real track and the midi right below it.

I've used this feature hundreds of times, and I almost always use the piano parts as midi which I then run through my Abbey Road Grand software.
