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. Any other opinions?

Interesting; what is the difference between C and 4/4? --------- Tribal Data Solutions has moved, please visit our website for more details http://www.tribaldata.co.uk.
