Exactly. This is probably the third or fourth time I said my varation of this popular phrase, but:
You can please some of the people some of the time. You can please some of the people all of the time. You can please all of the people some of of the time. But all of the score nerds will piss & moan all of the time.
Take me, for example -- here's how I would arrange an album. We'll use "Star Trek V: The Final Frontier" as an example.
Complete score in film order. Note I did not say complete film score. I would use any album or alternate version that is superior to the film version in place. There for I would use the Arista "Main Title" and "Open the Flood" gates in place and move the film versions to the bonus section. If one cue works better before the other, I would switch them and ntoe it later (as I would do on "Ghostbusters" with two cues). Doesn't matter if a cue is only ten seconds, it would be in the mix and not moved seperately.
If two seperate cues worked better as one, as with the "Main Title"/"Locutus" (from "Star Trek: First Contact") or the opening pieces of "Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home", I would comebine them -- sparringly (no going crazy combining random cues).
NO crossfades.
All source pieces would be moved into the bonus section, unless they worked in the mix (like "Ghostbusters" and "Something Wicked This Way Comes"; the former did not include the source, the latter was missing Dark's street parade music).
