Composers will put a sharp or flat symbol on a particular line at the 
beginning of the staff to denote that all notes on that line are to be 
sharped or flatted. For an example we'll say it is the "B" line that is 
flatted (Key of F). So whenever you're playing that tune you know that every 
time you come upon a "B" you are supposed to play a "B-flat". Well there may 
be a time when the composer really wants a true "B" to be played. Very often, 
he will denote this on the staff by making that one "B" note a "C-flat".
