In that I'm just a newbie to music, started in about 1958, and I've never seen music in 7 flats I have to wonder what the heck the problem is. I can see having an issue with an Eflat being entered but notated as D# however really there is no difference between Cb and B. None. And in the one in a million times it's going to come up use whiteout if it really drives you nuts. I just ran through an exercise playing several pieces I know by ear and can play anywhere, and as far as my fingers on the piano are concerned I'm playing in B.

All the double flatting would drive anyone to drink too. It's ok for a chord or two but really I wouldn't do anyone the dis-service of writing a piece in that key if it was my favorite.

Minds me of the huge arguments that ensued when the Highland Pipes would show up and the band would try and tune with them. Gets worse with the reconciling the C and Bflat and Eflat instruments and the odd ball keys we would end up with. Band director to me...you'd know what note is that..almost A# so...lol..and the stubborn scotsman say's I'm in perrrrfect forrrrm ...(roll my eyes) ..so let's try Amazing Grace in Bflat....close ...not.

I bet this will be the first request for the inclusion of Cb as a play along key....I prefer B# you c.
