Hi,
Unless I'm mistaken, cut-common and common-time are actually
different things.
Cut-common is the same as 2/2 not 4/4, whereas common-time and 4/4
are the same thing.
Cut-common is usually represented with a C with a slash through.
Cut-common is often found in band parts and effectively doubles the
pace, at least that is my interpretation.
It halves the count. Why go farther than that?
A lot of American popular/dance music is/was written in cut time even
whether or not it is played in cut time. There are many examples where
cut time is played in 4/4.
