Upbeat as full measure or not?

[Alexander Kobel]

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
