So in summary it seems to me at the moment that A# major and Bb major are exactly the same both in terms of the notes played and the way they are presented graphically while C# major and Db major consist of the same notes BUT are presented differently graphically. This seems to be at odds with the C# major versus Db major situation where the two enharmonic scales are detailed as separate entities and represented differently graphically. However Wikipedia has no listing for A# major, it says "see Bb major". Using Wikipedia again I thought it would follow that the same situation would exist when comparing A# major and Bb major. I am guessing it is a convention to only name sharps in a sharp scale and flats in a flat scale. Why for example are C# and Db defined as different scales when they contain exactly the same notes? Further why are these same notes named differently? To help me I thought I would write out every note in every major scale as a reference.
