Double flats lower the pitch by two half steps (one whole step). The resultant pitch would sound the same as the pitch 'A'. The effect of each flat symbol () lowers the pitch of the indicated note a semitone (or a half step ), so B double flat is the pitch 'B' lowered by two semitones (two half steps ). This helps to balance the accidentals with the surrounding text.īy contrast, the characters in the Standard accidentals (12-EDO) range and the following ranges are intended for positioning on a staff, and should use the usual proportions.\): Double sharps raise the pitch by two half steps (one whole step). The musical note 'B' preceded by two flat () symbols. It is likewise recommended that the counters in the sharp and natural are opened up to make them clearer at smaller sizes. In music, its typically placed before the note that it is intended to. It is recommended that the stem for the flat is shortened, so that overall the flat has similar proportions to a lower-case letter b. The appearance of the character is somewhat reminiscent of a stylized lowercase b. These accidentals should be designed to be complementary to standard letter forms, for example when describing a note name such as “C sharp” or “A flat”. This range is most useful in fonts intended for text-based applications, with metrics that are compatible for mixing musical symbols with text.
