Hi Shai:
Automatic Barline functionality was implemented in the Document Options - Barline page.
Clear Measure # Position can be achieved via the Clear Selected Items dialog box in the Edit menu.
Change Noteheads was implemented under the Utilities / Change / Change Noteheads
Midline Stem Direction is no longer recommended by publishers we work with.
Apply Human Playback was implemented in the MIDI Tool under the MIDI Too menu "Apply Human Playback..."
BIAB Auto-Harmonizing was based on a 32-bit library that could not be modernized to 64-bit. We are working with our partner at BIAB for possible solutions.
Usage of the Page Turns, unfortunately, did not merit the effort to modernize to 64-bit.
Find Parallel Motion had fundamental design flaws. We determined it was best to scrape the current plug-in and consider a better and more robust solution.
Piano Reduction is available in Finale v25 in the Scoring and Arranging menu.
The Suite of Composer's Assistant plug-ins was based on a 32-bit library that could be modernized to 64-bit. Furthermore, the usage of those plug-ins did not merit pursuing alternatives at this time.
Thank you for your request. I hope this clarifies the state of these plug-ins.
Cheers,
