I think this is not a matter of engraving rules but you should follow
the composer. (If I was the composer I would prefer a version with a
full measure beginning with a rest in this case. But I’m not Albert
Becker.) I’ve seen both versions in different pieces from different
composers.
Also, your version 1 is wrong. Soprano and Tenor must have r4 r2; I’m
pretty sure that one never writes full measure rests in a partial measure.

Dear all,
I wonder whether a "large" partial measure should be notated as a full
measure (rest+upbeat) or a partial measure. More specifically, it's the
beginning of the following piece:
- version 1, as partial

- version 2, as full measure
http://www3.cpdl.org/wiki/images/archive/6/6c/20140721085342%21Becker-albert_bleibe-abend-will-es-werden.pdf
It's a time 4/4 { r4 c c c }-style beginning; for time 2/2 { r4 c c c },
or time 4/4 { r8 c c c c4 c }, I'd prefer a full measure, but here my
intuition is gone. What looks more sound to your eye? Or could anybody
consult a copy of Gould or similar?
Thanks,
Alexander
