I thought about usage of degrees (72, 120, 90,…) but it will not work for douprisms. Actually I want to have rational number there, but it’s more easy to write their common denominator is the head (near the set description) and show only numerators of the angle in all twists. We may write D=360 for all puzzles other than douprisms.
Or you want to write denominators only? Then again we’ll need two records for 144-deg rotation… Not good when we can select format with one record for every twist of the cell/face/edge/vertex…
