Create a new time signature (2/1): https://musescore.org/en/handbook/4/time-signatures#custom
"and still retain the standard cut-time symbol display"
Change its visual appearance (right-click on 2/1, or in Properties panel / Time signature properties / Select "Cut Time" symbol) : https://musescore.org/en/handbook/4/time-signatures#time-sig-properties
