      I don't fully understand why an A sharp is not a B flat, or F flat is not an E. They sound the same so why are they different?

      Please note this is an example topic. You can still reply if you like.

          I use it for music reading. Sharp is upward, flat is downward. So if I use for ex. C# then the previous note is before C#. If I use Cflat then the previous note is after Cflat. Its for reading the flow of your music piece

            From low to high is sharp. From high to low is flat
