@jleer1 Sometimes cartoons are educational...!

@Keeper1st Ok, ok. This video is a cartoon. I just came here to watch a cartoon... 3 weeks ago... and I didn't want to get into something like this. Ok, bye.

@jleer1 No it wouldn't. Like I said, "B" is the sixth degree of "D" so when you're playing a Db7 dominant chord, that means the seventh degree (C) is flatted, thus C-flat -- not B. Look at Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier, No. 13. It's F-sharp Major. Say the scale: F-sharp, G-sharp, A-sharp, B, C-sharp, D-sharp, E-sharp. It's E-sharp -- not F-natural. Can't have two F's in the scale. Bar 16 he plays VI chord, D-sharp Major. Spell it: D-sharp, F-double-sharp, A-sharp. It's F-double-sharp -- not G.

@Keeper1st I understand that it is the musically correct term, but it would make sense to say the natural name, because it would be a simpler system.
-
@jleer1 No it doesn't. If you're in a key in which C is sharp, are playing that note and want to use the lower chromatic neighboring tone, it's called a B-sharp -- not a C natural. If you're playing a D-flat dominant 7th chord, it is spelled D-flat, F, A-flat, C-flat. Spelling it with a B and not a C-flat would make no sense, as B is the sixth degree -- not the seventh. Same applies for double-sharps and double-flats. I've scored a B-double-flat chord before: Flatted sixth from key of D-flat.
-
@Keeper1st Yes, but why would you say C flat or B sharp, when you can just say B or C? It makes more sense to say that.
-
@jleer1 Actually they do exist and I've used both. C-flat is the same tone as B natural, but it is a different note. Likewise, B-sharp is the same tone as C natural, but is a different note. Saying there can't be a C-flat or a B-sharp is like saying there can't be an F-double-sharp or a B-double-flat, both of which are extremely common.
-
C flat and B sharp can't exist. There's not a semitone between B and C.
