there is...every key has three separate notes...the name change(s) are called "ENHARMONIC"...doesn't mean anything else but that, the keys are exactly the same...check it out: IVORY KEYS C is also B# and D double-flat D is also C double sharp and E double flat E is also D double sharp and F flat F is also E# and G double flat G is also F double sharp and A double flat A is also G double sharp and B double flat B is also A double sharp and C flat EBONY KEYS C# is also D flat and B double sharp D# is also E flat and F double flat F# is also G flat and E double sharp A flat is also G# B flat is also A# and C double flat note: because of ASCII, I can't write the correct notation for "double flat" and "double sharp"...but when you see two flats in front of a note then you know it's a double flat...the double sharp looks more like an "X"... anyway, the double stands for a tone or 2 semitones...SO!...if it's a double sharp then raise the note by two semitones and if its a double flat lower it by two semitones...
