A flat and A double flat on the Treble Clef .]] In Music , flat means "lower in pitch." More specifically, in Music Notation , flat means "lower in Pitch by a Semitone ," and has an associated symbol (), which looks like a lowercase "b"; the Note ''A flat'' is shown in Musical Notation in Figure 1. The Unicode character '♭' (U+266D) can be used to display a flat sign. Under Equal Temperament , ''C flat'' is the same as, or Enharmonic ally equivalent to, ''B'' and ''F flat'' is the same as ''E''. There also exist double-flats, which look like and lower a note by two semitones. Less often one will encounter half, '''three-quarter''', or otherwise altered flats. In Tuning , flat can also mean "slightly lower in pitch". If two simultaneous notes are slightly out of tune, the lower-pitched one (assuming the higher one is properly pitched) is said to be flat with respect to the other. SEE ALSO |
