i hope you and maybe camembert will be able to flesh this out... dgd

This will probably get integrated with sharp and note and some point. I'm still trying to figure out the best way to do this; see talk:note. -- Merphant

Why does the double-flat exist?66.21.216.246 21:09, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

It can be convenient for lowering a note a semitone that is already flat due to the key -- this is often to make the harmony or the chord more clear to the reader. That is, if you are in D flat major and you want a diminished chord (1-3flat-5-flat), you may put a double flat on the A so as to make the type of chord clear. Also, on instruments that do not have equal temperment, a double-flat may not be exactly the same as its enharmonically equivalent value. DavidRF 23:44, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
