The name of the scale is whatever the second to the last flat is. For example, if you have 3 flats, B flat E flat and A flat, the name of the scale is E flat, because it is the second to the last flat.
Key signatures are the sharps or flats at the beginning of the staff. To identify the key signature of a scale that consists of all sharps, look at the last sharp in the key signature. Whichever note the last sharp lies on, the key of the scale is one note above it. To identify the key signature of a scale that consists of all flats, look at the note directly before the last flat in the key signature. The second-to-last note is the name of the key signature of flat keys. However, you cannot use this helpful trick with the F Major Scale which only has one flat (B flat).
F major, B-flat major.
In the order of flats in key signatures, even if the melody skips the B-flat, the key would contain it, because there is no such key with only an E-flat.
When reading flat key signatures, it is the second to last flat: The order of the flats go as such: B flat, E flat, A Flat, D flat, G flat, C flat, F flat. In this case that would make A being the second to last flat, thus the key would be A-Flat Major or f Minor.
The tip on finding the key signature for flats in major keys is by counting up 4 notes from the tonic note, that is the last flat, then count back down 4 scale notes, and that is the key. BTW - this tip doesn't work for the minor keys with flats.

A flat major and its relative minor are key signatures with four flats.
F major, B-flat major.
There are time signatures and key signatures. Time signatures indicate how many beats are in a measure, and which note represents the beat. For example 3/4 would mean three beats in each measure, with each beat lasting one quarter note. Key signatures indicate what key a piece or passage is to be played in. a key signature with three flats could be E-flat major, or C minor, depending on the resting tone. A key signature with two sharps could be D major or B minor, again depending on the resting tone.

A flat key is a key that has a flat on its tonic note. A sharp key is a key that has a sharp on its tonic note.
All I know is that whenever there is a flat or a sharp on a certain line or space then that note is sharp or flat. Ex.: F ---#--- D ------ B ------ G ------ E ------ Since there's a sharp on F then all F's in the music are sharp.
Starting with B flat, the third black key in the group of three, the next note would be D flat, the next black key. E flat would be the next note also the next black key. E natural is the white key one to the right then the next white key which would be F natural. The final note is A flat which is in the middle of the three black keys.
Yes. That note would be flat (or sharp, depending how you look at it) throughout the whole piece, unless there is a change of key.
