I don’t recall that anybody so far has been able to explain how they know a 
piece is in 4/2 when it is denoted cut-C.  Can you?

I found a little support for the idea that double cut-C is being used as 2/1 in 
the hymnal I have.  Consider songs 2 and 3 from this 1844 hymnal: 
http://books.google.ca/books?id=t341RA7NAcIC .

In that book they are in 2/1.  (Would you have called them 4/2 if not for that? 
 I probably would have.)  The hymnal I have contains those two songs with 
identical music, but denoted with double cut-C time; and there are others I 
recognize, but I haven’t checked them as closely.
