You could copy a midi file to the cvp, select the song, then press the Score button.
Obviously the score is only as good as the midi file itself, but given the sheer number of midi files out there, you are bound to find a readable version of whatever you want,

It may take some time and tinkering, but you can also "clean up" those midi files with a program such as Finale Print Music (the scaled down version of Finale)or a program like Sonar Home Studio, which is geared to handling multi audio and midi tracks. You may not care for all of the voices on some midi tracks and sometimes the melody changes from one track to another.

I use both together to give me readable scores on the parts I want. I usually just print my scores, but having the midi score available when learning classical music along with the playback features of the CVP has been very helpful to me.

Depending upon what type of music you are interested in try:

Of course the quality of free midi programs varies- while there are a lot of quality files out there, sometimes you do get what you pay for.

The downside with this approach is that it can take a fair amount of time to tweak the files the right way - sometimes it's just more convenient to buy the score.

I bought a 9 or so CD set on Ebay that had over 10,000 midi files. After spending many hours finding the songs I wanted, copying to the CVP, and then finding it was poorly constructed, going back to the CD find another version of the same song (some popular songs had 10 or 20 or more versions), do the same thing, on and on, etc etc ... you get the idea. I found it a complete waste of time.

When I go to IDC I get exactly what I want (and I can preview before buying) and they are all very good quality with scores that you can actually read and play along with.

Yeah it costs $5.00 but my time has value.

You get what you pay for.
