So... there are 30-some TOS episodes with original score material included, right? And you could probably fit 3 episodes per CD if the old GNP releases are any indicator (they each held 2 but they were not packed out). Maybe a... what, 13, 14 disc set?
On the old GNP releases, is that original music or re-recorded? And if it's original, I thought GNP didn't license their music out? (Hence, some Ron Jones material having to be left off the FSM set.)
While I'm still secretly hoping for a massive, DS9 complete series set with all the music for every episode packaged in an authentic replica of a Bajoran Orb Ark, I will remain perfectly content and be excited for this release if it is something for the original series as well. (After all, there is a DS9 set on the horizon anyways!)

Biggest news would be unfettered access to Lucasfilms/Lucasarts music archives, and the Trek convention would be the perfect place to announce it.
Think of all the glorious stuff they could release.
Why on Endor would a STAR TREK convention be the perfect place to announce a deal with Lucasfilm? That's like saying a DOCTOR WHO convention would be the perfect place to announce a QUANTUM LEAP boxset!

...a QUANTUM LEAP boxset!
OMGs I want this now! I love QUANTUM LEAP even if Al's "Alphabet Rap" song hasn't aged the best!

But as we've seen again and again, when it comes to these things, there is no one true answer forever. In the case of the FSM Jones set, what was true for "Best of Both Worlds" was not true for "Heart of Glory." Why? I haven't a clue. Maybe GNP was willing to license one but not the other. Maybe their rights for one were not the same as their rights for the other. The point is, we don't know where GNP's rights to these things begin and end.
And by the way, people have changes of heart. And times change. And money talks. Assuming the big announcement is "Star Trek" (the original series), which I'm assuming it is, we may never know why things changed. Just that they did.

The Crescendo releases are the original recordings.
If you look at the Best of Both Worlds CD versus the first release of Heart of Glory, I think the reasoning is fairly obvious. The Best of Both Worlds album had the cues separated into different tracks, which is how they would have been (more or less) in the Ron Jones set. However, Heart of Glory was condensed into two tracks. Since the box presented the cues differently this is probably what allowed that score to be included and not Best of Both Worlds. Different track presentation does not equal re-release of the original album. At least, that was the first thing that occurred to me. I know there was another incident where this happened (which is why I thought of this when the tracklist was announced) but I can't remember what it was. Maybe someone can lend me a helping hand.

Probably less. The Ron Jones set has 40 scores on 14 discs. TOS is 34, including the pilots.
So I'd guess no more than 12 discs, even with extras. Perhaps a four-disc case per season?

Well, true -- "forever" can be a relative and nebulous term. And I didn't realize that "Heart of Glory" had been released by GNP to begin with; I only knew about the missing "Best of Both Worlds" because it was an issue that was addressed when the set was released. Also, when all of the Trek film scores were being re-released, many comments alluded to GNP having perpetual rights, etc. (Or is that Varese?) Either way, I get that money talks and things can always change, I was just curious if anyone had more specific information about it.
