"Flat" means to go down one semitone. Look at a piano (or similar) keyboard, and check what you have one to the left of "C". Since on a piano there is no black key between "B" and "C", the next semitone down from "C" is simply "B".
No. It would be F#X or Bb bb. (F sharp double-sharp or B flat double-flat.)
A double sharp is the enharmonic of B nature
There are two definitions of the phrase "enharmonic equivalent", referring to the enharmonic equivalent of a single note, or the enharmonic equivalent of a key, or key signature.In the first instance, the enharmonic equivalent of the note E flat is D sharp (D#). The enharmonic equivalent of the key signature E flat major is D sharp (D#) major.
I would definitely try to write the scale in B. If you were to write it in C flat then you would end up having to use accidentals that are not very common called double flats.
enharmonic = a different letter name for the same key C flat.

G-flat major scale has the most with 6 flats: b-flat, e-flat, a-flat, d-flat, g-flat, and c-flat.Of course, one could argue that other scales have more flats (such as C-flat major, F-flat major, B-double-flat major, etc), but these scales are typically notated as their enharmonic equivalent (e.g. A major instead of B-double-flat major).
I am guessing so... I've seen something like a key signature having a B-flat, and somewhere in the piece there is a flat in front of a B, so it would be a B-double-flat. If double flats are allowed,then it would be C,B-sharp;C-sharp,D-flat;D, E-double-flat; D-sharp, E-flat; E, F-flat;F,G-double-flat;F-sharp,G-flat;G,A-double-flat;G-sharp,A-flat;A,B-double-flat;and B,C-double-flat.
C flat is located to the left of C. It is enharmonic with the note B.
