¹ Lukas Kendall indicated that they “used 1/4-inch mono tapes of the scores as they were recorded on the scoring stage [Stage F of Glen Glenn Sound, Hollywood], with the bad takes and false starts, before they were cut up and dubbed into the shows themselves. The aforementioned mono tapes were transferred to digital and then they were mastered to notch out 60hz hum, take out undue amounts of hiss, etc.” The tapes were also pitch-corrected and mastered for optimum performance on home audio systems. Lukas Kendall, e-mail correspondence, 24 March 2013. I would like to thank Lukas Kendall and Jeff Bond for sharing their research materials with me.

⁶ Roddenberry indicated to his assistant producer, Robert Justman, that he did not want a traditional electronic science fiction score for Star Trek. Although the series did occasionally employ a synthesizer, an electric violin, an electric guitar, etc., it did so sparingly.

Bond's book covers not only the original series of Star Trek, but also the music of the franchise's films and television series through 1999, including all films from Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979) to Star Trek: Nemesis (2002) and all series from Star Trek (1966–69) to Star Trek: Voyager (1995–2002), excluding the animated series (1973–74).

Most of what the liner notes include from this material draws from interviews Fred Steiner conducted as he prepared a scholarly essay on the music of Star Trek in 1982: Steiner, Fred, “Keeping Score of the Scores: Music for Star Trek,” in Quarterly Journal of the Library of Congress 40/1 (Winter 1983): 4–15Google Scholar.
