In music, flat (Italian bemolle for "soft B") means "lower in pitch". Flat is the opposite of sharp, which is a raising of pitch. In musical notation, flat means "lower in pitch by one semitone (half step)", notated using the symbol ♭ which is derived from a stylised lowercase 'b'.

A double sharp raises a note by a whole step, while a double flat lowers a note by a whole step. Be sure to write accidentals to the left of a note, directly across the line or space on which a note appears. Notes have enharmonic equivalence when they are spelled differently but sound the same.

To put it simply, sharp notes and flat notes are opposites. While the sharp note goes up, the flat note goes down. Accordingly, when a note is sharpened, it is raised by a half-step, otherwise called a semitone. When a note is flattened, it goes a semitone lower.

C double-sharp is a whole step higher than C, which is the D key on the piano keyboard. E double-flat is a whole step lower than E. It is also the D key on the piano keyboard. C double-sharp, E double-flat and D are enharmonic equivalent or enharmonic notes.

The musical note "C" preceded a double sharp (𝄪) symbol. The effect of the double sharp symbol raises the pitch of the indicated note by two semitones (two half steps). The resultant pitch would sound the same as the pitch "D".

Its parallel minor, G-flat minor, is usually replaced by F-sharp minor, since G-flat minor's two double-flats make it generally impractical to use.
