I didn't have the opportunity to look at Bach's handwriting. I have
checked two edited versions. One uses 4/4, the other C (not cut C).
So I gather that's correct.
Hold on, are you saying that the second Kyrie of BWV232 is *not*
alla breve, but in 4/4 ? Any chance of knowing which versions you
consulted?

In the second Kyrie from J.S. Bach's Hohe Messe, the time signature is
4/4, but the bars are filled with 8 quarter notes or its equivalent in
time.
Are you sure you meant 4/4 which is shown as C? Bach uses the cut
C (alla breve).
Cheers,

Hi David,
Indeed in the editions I saw the time is set as 4/4, but "Alla breve" is
noted above the piece.
In the meantime I noticed that Bach uses cut C in his handwriting
(thanks to Malte and Simon for the links). For me - but I am by no means
competent in the matter - is still is odd to see cut C noted, and than
not two, but four halves in each bar.
But I saw the tiny half-bar lines in the autograph Simon pointed to.
For me, the theoretical aspect is less important now. My aim was to have
printed the 4/4 version in lilypond, since the choir I sing in is used
to that edition.
Thanks a lot!
regards,
Jogchum Reitsma
