The way I have been looking at it, c represents quadruple meter and ¢
represents duple.
This is an interpretation I guessed from 4/4=c and 2/2=¢, too. But I don’t
think it is correct from the above mail by Simon, which I found quite
convincing.
He wrote, "alla breve means ‘in units of a brevis’, that is 4/2 or 2/1.” I
don’t see how you can conclude that he meant that ¢ always means half notes.
I tried to get more informed and I now think I had a misunderstanding
here. It is probably not possible to identify alla breve uniquely from
the time signature fraction (neither numerator nor denominator). But
both seem to be a viable way to me now.
Simon, would you be kind enough to clarify it for us?
I would still appreciate that ;)
Cheers,
Joram
