When Finale v25 was released, it was the first version of Finale to be updated to 64-bit. Unfortunately, the Band-in-a-Box Auto-Harmonizer plug-in was not able to be updated as a 64-bit plug-in and was removed from the program as a result.
For users who relied on this plug-in as a part of their creative workflow, there are a couple of alternatives available in other scorewriter programs.
Dorico - "Generating notes from chord symbols"
This feature allows you to automatically generate notes based on chord symbols you've entered in your score. You can customize the results in a number of ways, such as selecting which instruments play bass notes. Please visit the links below for more information:
