The "in between" notes in the chromatic scale can be described as either sharps or flats. Because of the way scales and chords are constructed, flats are used more often than sharps. Here once again is the C chromatic scale with scale degrees written under the notes. The scales degrees written here relate to the natural notes and the flat notes. The sharps and flats are enharmonic equivalents, which means they are the same pitch (e.g., C# =Db and F# =Gb).
