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

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 for a way of declaring the cut C. The included photo is from the piece (# 67. Vater Unser in Himmelreich by Johann Kyieger, from _80 Choral Preludes_, Edition Peters, No. 4440, Copyright 1947). I think I purchased it some time around 1959.
