Notes, of E Flat. E ♭ (E-flat) or mi bémol is the fourth semitone of the solfège. It lies a diatonic semitone above D and a chromatic semitone below E, thus being enharmonic to D ♯ or re dièse. In equal temperament it is also enharmonic with F (F-double flat). However, in some temperaments, D ♯ is not the same as E ♭.
