Illegal, no, but impractical. Keys only go up to 7 sharps or flats, and anything with more exists purely in theory. G# major contains 8 sharps, as the F is a double sharp. 4 flats is much easier to read than 8 sharps.

What scale has A flat and C sharp?

Technically, none. If a scale has sharps then it won't have flats and vice-versa. But, in this case it's a matter of semantics: A flat is the same as G sharp and there are several scales that have both G sharp and C sharp - for example, D major, A major, E major, B major, F# major, C# major, G# major, B minor, F# minor, C# minor, G# minor - and then there are the other 5 modes besides major and minor. As well, C# is the same as D flat. D flat and A flat are also found in several scales.

What are all the major and minor scales?

Firstly, lets think about your major cghords. All major chord consist of the first (root) third and fifth notes of the major scale from which they come. so, for c major for eg, C E and G. you chords will all contain 1st 3rd and 5th notes somwhere. so, to make them minor, simply lower the third by a semitone, ie one fret, and hey presto, a minor chord.

What is the rule for finding the name of a sharp major key or scale?

There are different rules. For major keys, the rule is this (by the way, # means sharp): C major scale- 0 sharps or flats G major scale- 1 sharp - F sharp D major scale- 2 sharps - F and C sharp A major scale- 3 sharps - F, C, G sharp E major scale- 4 sharps - F, C, G, D sharp B major scale- 5 sharps - F, C, G, D, A sharp F# major scale- 6 sharps - F, C, G, D, A, E sharp C# major scale - 7 sharps - F, C, G, D, A, E, B sharp. For major keys with flats: F major scale - 1 flat - B flat B flat major scale - 2 flats - B, E flat E flat major scale - 3 flats - B, E, A flat A flat major scale - 4 flats - B, E, A, D flat D flat major scale - 5 flats - B, E, A, D, G flat G flat major scale - 6 flats - B, E, A, D, G, C flat C flat major scale - 7 flats - B, E, A, D, G, C, F flat So as you might have noticed, in increasing order of sharps it is: F, C, G, D, A, E, B. And the increasing order of flats is B, E, A, D, G, C, F. If you notice the order of sharps is the opposite of the order of flats.
