[edit] ^b7

A sentence here was edited to read: "Music which modulates (changes key) often modulates into the subdominant through the introduction of the ^b7." I've removed the second half of it - I don't know what a "^b7" is, and I doubt many other people will. If somebody can put it into English, that would be good. --Camembert

I changed it to this "Music which modulates (changes key) often modulates into the subdominant when the leading tone is lowered by half step to the subtonic (B to Bb in the key of C)" and added a link, hopefully it makes more sense now. If not, take it off. --Wikidan81 02:35, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Camembert, I can only assume it means the flattened (b) seventh (7) degree (^).

I think some of this confusion could have been avoided by using proper flat signs or spelling out "flattened seventh degree" per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (music)#Accidentals. I have converted the b's in the article to {{music|b}} which produces ♭. See Template:Music for details on using {{music}}. --Dbolton 04:42, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
