Back up a step and consider a slightly different case: a section in common time followed by one in cut time. (Or, if you prefer, tempus imperfectum followed by tempus imperfectum diminutum.) The very clear meaning is that the note values decrease by half. I can't see any situation in which this would not apply, unless instructions to the contrary are present.<<
This is how I was taught to interpret this change in time signatures, and how I have been teaching it until now. Perhaps a little bit more discussion will be in order now. Obviously, there is no one, hard and fast interpretation.
