Hi Stanton,
I’m setting various short organ pieces from an old Peters edition,
mostly to prevent my aging brain from forgetting…
One piece is in 8/4 time -the first measure has a whole note and 2
half notes. However, the time signature as printed is the cut time
symbol. How can I reproduce
David, Thank you. That is exactly what I was looking for. William, thank you
for the helpful explanation of the somewhat archaic use of the cut time sign.
And David, again thank you for your responses.

Stanton,
As far as I know (I use Lilypond 2.22.2) cut C is not available for 4/2.

Mark,
Thank you for the suggestion, but as stated previously, I’m trying to reproduce
the original from the Peters edition. The problem, as you point out, is that
the cut C is used in the original. Whether 8/4 or 4/2 (and I agree that 4/2 is
the most reasonable time signature), I was looking
Stanton,
I think the piece is in 4/2.
Do you want a numeric time signature?
The cut C is used for 2/2.
