music flat symbol!On sheet music if there is a flat symbol, b, before two notes stacked, does that mean there both flats?

No. If both notes were flats, there would be a flat symbol for each of them. Using the treble clef as an example: you might see E and G stacked together, with a flat sign in the 4th space behind the E, making it Eb - the G remains G natural.
is it before a certain note? as in is it narrowed down to a certain note? if not I guess, try playing through the music playing the flats and naturals of the stacked notes and listen to which one sounds correct, if you're a musician you should be able to do this music flat symbolwith much ease
No. If a chord is written with an accidental before it, that accidental applies only to the note on that line/space. It is possible to have multiple accidentals for a single chord. Friendly reminder: make sure that accidental carries out through the measure.
The flat only applies to the line or space it's on. If you have, say, a D and a B with a flat in front of the B, only the B is flatted.
no, every note needs it's own accidental. the flat should be directly behind the note it is altmusic flat symbolering.
Only the note marked is flatted,

... with the caveat if there is a flat in the key signature that affects the other note.
the flat note would be on lines. If the flat symbol is on both the lines on which the notes are stacked then yes, both are flats

hope this helped :)
No, 1 flat = 1 note flat

It would be the note that is corresponding to the flat.
"They're" not both flats; one flat sign should be in front of each note that is to be flatted.
no it does not
