Notations


Solved state:
The cube will always be considered with the split on the left of middle layer

Moves
(x,y) turn top face of x*30° clockwise and bottom face of y*30° clockwise
/ turn the whole cube with your right hand along split on middle layer

Pieces notations
Corners will be noted UBL, UBR, UFL, UFR on top face and DBL, DBR, DFL, DFR on bottom face
Edges will be noted UL, UB, UR, UF on top face and DL, DB, DR, DF on bottom face

Symmetry
If you want to use an algorithm modifying one layer but for the opposite layer, read it from left to right and each pair (x,y) are read (-y,-x)
Or swap both layers with (1,0) / (6,6) / (-1,0), then use the normal algorithm
example (1,0) / (3,-3) / (3,0) / (-3,0) / (0,3) / (-3,0) / (2,0) / permute UFL with UFR
(0,-1) / (3,-3) / (0,-3) / (0,3) / (-3,0) / (0,3) / (0,-2) / permute DFL with DFR

Inverting
If you want to invert an algorithm, read it from right to left and each pair (x,y) are read (-x,-y)
example  / (3,0) / (1,0) / (0,-3) / (-1,0) / (-3,0) / (1,0) / (0,3) / (-1,0) cycle UR->UL->UB
(1,0) / (0,-3) / (-1,0) / (3,0) / (1,0) / (0,3) / (-1,0) / (-3,0) / cycle UR->UL->UB
