Eb Major and C Minor scales have 3 flats.
C minor and E flat major
Minor scales have flats and major scales have sharps.
Up to 2 sharps or flats.
Gâ™­ major has the most flats - 6 of them, in fact: G â™­ Aâ™­ Bâ™­ Câ™­ Dâ™­ Eâ™­ You could argue, however, that there are other scales with even more flats, such as Câ™­ major (which has 7 flats). Câ™­ major is actually exactly the same as B major (which has 5 sharps), and, of these two forms, B major is the name (and key signature) used. Other major scales that use more than 6 flats, such as Fâ™­ major (which is equivalent to E major), end up having double flats (notated as â™­â™­), so things start to get unnecessarily complicated and messy to write.
Eb Major and C Minor scales have 3 flats.
C minor and E flat major
Minor scales have flats and major scales have sharps.
Up to 2 sharps or flats.
The sharps and flats (black notes)
For c major there are no sharps, for b flat major there are two flats, b flat and e flat
C flat major, seven flats.
It depends on which key you are referring to, all the keys with flats are: F major (1 flat) B-flat major (2 flats) E-flat major (3 flats) A-flat major (4 flats) D-flat major (5 flats) G-flat major (6 flats) C-flat major (7 flats) Likewise the relative minors are: D minor (1 flat) G minor (2 flats) C minor (3 flats) F minor (4 flats) B-flat minor (5 flats) E-flat minor (6 flats) A-flat minor (7 flats)
There are three enharmonic scales at the bottom of the circle of fifths, those are D-flat, G-flat and C-flat majors for the flats and B, F-sharp and C-sharp majors for the sharps. The relative minors for these scales are B-flat, E-flat and A-flat minors for the flats and G-sharp, D-sharp and A-sharp minors for the sharps.
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).
