A Double-Flat #adoubleflat #abb

We're not finished with the dictionary yet, but we'd like to take the next seven weeks to list what we have so far.  It's tricky to put musical notes in a definite order:  Should we start with DO (C) or alphabetically (A)?

It's a bit aribtary, but we're starting alphabetically, with the lowest A possible:  A double-flat.
