In a scale, notes are distributed in degrees, separated by intervals. F for example, comprises F, G, A, Bb, C, D, E, F. But a note can be flat or sharp, so two note names can indicate the same pitch. Consider the scale of B. This comprises B, C-Sharp, D-Sharp, E, F-Sharp, G-Sharp, A-Sharp, B. Here it is appropriate to call the seventh note A-Sharp, though it is exactly the same note as the fourth note in the scale of F, which it is more convenient to call Bb, this is enharmony. 3, record 1, English, - enharmony
