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.
Good catch, and actually the part of the question I forgot to ask... But I guess I like your assessment that the proper notation should primarily depend on the musical or "upbeat" character as you stated in your second mail:
The first beat of measures 6 and 40 is not the ending of the phrase before, but the beginning of a new one (phrases end in 5 and 39). So in my opinion this measure “Bleibe” doesn’t have an “upbeat character”.
Thanks, Alexander
