What is the key signature for G major?

Bbb Eb Ab Db Gb Cb Fb. Far from being strictly theoretical, the key F flat major becomes important when a composition in Cb major modulates to the Subdominant, the second most common modulation. The key-change may be indicated either through accidentals (double-flats placed beside notes), or through a change of key signature. While some composers might write a sonata in the key of Cb major, they might wish their second movement to be in the Subdominant key. They have the option of notating with a key signature of 8 flats (which shows the relation to the first movement), or using it's enharmonic equivalent, E major (key signature: 4 sharps), to simplify reading.


How is the order of sharps and flats used?

the order of sharps and flats are both used to write out the order in a key siganture on a piece of music (for example: the key of d has two sharps, f and c, so in the key signature, you see a sharp for f and a sharp for c) Also, when you're looking at the key signature, you can use the order to find out what key the song is in. For sharps, you look at the last sharp in the key signature, and go up one letter in the musical alphabet. if that note is not sharped, then that letter is the key. if it is sharped, then it's that letter, sharped (for example: key of c sharp, fcgdaeb are the sharps: you go up one from b and it's c, but c is already sharp, so it's the key of c sharp) For flats, you look at the second to last flat in the key signature, and that's the key that it's in. if there's only one flat, it's b flat, and the key is f. i hope this helped!!
