The Notation Editor - Quarter Turn Face Twists

A quarter turn face twist denotes a 90° turn of one of the six faces of the cube.

The «Quarter Turn Face Twists» checkbox:

Tick this checkbox to enable support for quarter turn face twists by the notation.

When this checkbox is ticked, then entry fields for clockwise and anticlockwise quarter turn twists are shown below the checkbox.

Ticking this checkbox also enables the following checkboxes: Half Turn Face Twists, Mid-Layer Twists, Cube Twists, Sequence, Repetition, Inversion, Reflection, Conjugation, Commutation and Delimiter.

«Clockwise» and «Anticlockwise» text fields:

Use these text fields to specify the keywords for quarter turn face twists.

You should specify at least one keyword for each face of the cube. For each face you can either fill in keywords for clockwise turns, anticlockwise turns or for both directions.

If you enter multiple words in a text field, then each word represents a keyword. The first word in a text field is used by CubeTwister for output of scripts in this notation.

Example 1:

If you fill in the text fields as shown in the table below, then the letters «R», «U», «F», «L», «D» and «B» denote tokens for 90° clockwise turns of the cube faces.

Example 2:

If you fill in the text fields as shown in the table below, then the letters «R», «U», «F», «L», «D» and «B» denote tokens for 90° anticlockwise turns of the cube faces.

Example 3:

If you fill in the text fields as shown in the table below, then the upper case letters «R», «U», «F», «L», «D» and «B» denote tokens for 90° clockwise turns of the cube faces.. The letters in lower case denote anticlockwise turns.

Example 4:

If you fill in the text fields as shown in the table below, then both upper case and lower case letters «R», «U», «F», «L», «D» and «B» are accepted as tokens for 90° clockwise turns of the cube faces. CubeTwister will always use the upper case letters for output since they have been specified first in the text fields.
