  2. Natural (music) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_(music)

    Most notes showing a double-flat or double-sharp correspond in pitch with a natural note but, since they are notated differently, are considered enharmonic equivalents of the natural note. The same is true for F ♭, C ♭, E ♯, and B ♯. In John Stump's Prelude and the Last Hope, double naturals are used to cancel double flats in a key ...

    These have a B♭ at the start and also a B at the end (with a double-flat symbol), going B♭, E♭, A♭, D♭, G♭, C♭, F♭, B. Sometimes the double signs are written at the beginning of the key signature, followed by the single signs. For example, F♭ would be notated as B, E♭, A♭, D♭, G♭, C♭, F

    Accidental symbols are placed to the right of a note's letter when written in text (e.g. F ♯ is F-sharp, B ♭ is B-flat, and C ♮ is C natural), but are placed to the left of a note's head when drawn on a staff.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accidental_(music)

    If a note with a double sharp or double flat is followed by a note in the same position with a single sharp or single flat, there are two common notations. Modern notation simply uses a single flat or sharp sign on the second note, whereas older notation may use a natural sign (to cancel the double accidental) combined with the single ...

    When a musical key or key signature is referred to in a language other than English, that language may use the usual notation used in English (namely the letters A to G, along with translations of the words sharp, flat, major and minor in that language): languages which use the English system include Irish, Welsh, Hindi, Japanese (based on katakana in iroha order), Korean (based on hangul in ...

    Letter notation is the most common way of indicating chords for accompaniment, such as guitar chords, for example B ♭ 7. The bass note may be specified after a /, for example C/G is a C major chord with a G bass. Where a capo is indicated, there is little standardisation.

    Thus, A 0 refers to the first A above C 0 and middle C (the one-line octave's C or simply c′) is denoted as C 4 in SPN. For example, C 4 is one note above B 3, and A 5 is one note above G 5. The octave number is tied to the alphabetic character used to describe the pitch, with the division between note letters ‘B’ and ‘C’, thus:
