True...they overlook as much as they seem to pay close attention to... When I said that music choice seemed sometimes/often symbolic or thematic, I was thinking more little details like how the background music supposedly changed at very specific points in "The shining Beacon" (I still need to watch that bit again and listen to see if I notice it; didn't notice it either of the two times I watched it so far), like switching to a piece of the tune from "Mirror, Mirror" when the focus shifted to Weiss, and to the tune of "Red like Roses," but specifically the part of the tune where "Black the beast descends from darkness" is said, when it shifted to Blake, and etc.

I'm re-watching the series and paying more attention to little things this time around. Doing so after listening to the soundtrack on repeat for a few days made me question the song choice in that battle, I guess.

Also the music for the trailers...those songs were very obviously personal to the characters and symbolic of their backstory, with some exceptions. That said, you're right that that doesn't always seem to be true in the battles of the actual series.
