Well I didn't see a help thread. so i guess i'll request it here?

~When we talk about music theory We do See E Sharp or Maybe C Flat, But.. I was told to never expect to see it in a Real Sheet. I don't really know what's going on Can someone explain me?

I'm a Begginer And I'm getting a little confused about if it's really E Flat in other Words F, But i was wondering if that's true, why do that? Why not just put a F With that thing that neutralzies the accidents?

This is a harmonic minor scale. In an F# minor scale you have F#, G#, A, B, C#, D, E. Let's number them 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 respectively. A harmonic minor scale has a raised 7th. So E is now E#. If you play the scale it has that middle eastern/egyption sound to it.

Here's the wrong way. F#, G#, A, B, C#, D, F. Do you see how 1 and 7 is conflicting and E is missing? In a major or minor scale you don't repeat the same letter twice. It gets extremely confusing when reading the score unless the arranger purposefully wants to torture their readers.

Thanks alot, and I guess to understand the logic behind it i have to be familiar with the minor scale? I'm just familiar with The major. Sorry for being stupid xD
