I was getting scared reading this thread. There are a few knowledgeable people in this thread setting the record straight, thank goodness.

Nevermind. I'm an ass. I spoke before reading my notes thoroughly. You guys are right. Sorry for my stupidity.

I was taught this at grade 1

The order of sharps and flats and corresponding keys:

#'s: F C G D A E B = Keys: Gmaj / Dmaj / Amaj / Emaj / Bmaj / F#maj / C#maj

b's: B E A D G C F = Keys: Fmaj / Bbmaj / Ebmaj / Abmaj / Dbmaj / Gbmaj / Cbmaj

So as far as I am concerned D# major doesn't exist unless you enjoy playing brain gymnastics

Stupid thread from 7 years ago, bumped by a stupid post.

you wouldn't normally spell a diatonic scale with double sharps or double flats. C# and Cb are as sharp and flat as you want to get.

You can, but it's ludicrous, because D# major is the exact same thing as Eb major.
9 sharps vs 3 flats hmmm...

Double flats and double sharps can be totally legitimate in context, but there's no reason to use a scale/key that has double sharps/flats diatonically.

You fail at life. There's no reason whatsoever to resurrect this thread. GTFO.
