Cut-common is often found in band parts and effectively doubles the

It all depends on the tempo markings, of course. It's quite possible to
have a slow 2/2. The real difference is in the accents and the "feel" of
the music. 2/2 flows differently from 4/4 because there are fewer beats
(and therefore fewer accents) per bar.
As far as whether one uses numbers or c-shaped symbols, I think that the
c-shaped symbols are traditional in certain types of music, but that the
numbers seem to have become standard practice in modern music. It would
make sense to me for Lilypond to have choices like use-numbers or
use-symbols.
I think there have been other answers in this thread explaining how
to change the default layout to use numbers.
(And what about the circle-with-a-line that Bach uses for
16/8 in the gigue of the E major keyboard partita? Is that in Lilypond
somewhere, or is it too obscure to include such things?)
No problem, see
