If you have a B flat in the key signature, and then the music calls for a C flat, then you do not flat the C flat again. Even though C flat lands on a B natural, you won't need to flat it again.

If you have two notes in the measure, C flat and B flat, then you go down from C to get (basically) B natural, and down from B to get B flat (or A sharp).

Hope that helps!

C-flat is the equivalent of a "regular" B note; I encounter it all the time in musical notation. The C-flat will always play as a B, even if there is a B-flat established in the key signature (the part at the very beginning), or in the same measure anywhere in the piece.

Look at the key signature. It will tell you the notes that are played
on that particular scale. A flat could be G sharp, or C sharp
could be D flat. Learn the scales by heart. Then you'll know
what to call each note according to the to the key signature
the music is played in. Guitar teacher here....

I think the C-flat equals to B, the B-flat would just be the black key between A and B.

C flat is B natural which is one half step above B flat

No, C flat and B flat are two different notes. Enharmonically, a C flat is a B, and a B flat is a semitone above B.

If a composer wanted to write b-flat on the c line, he would have to write a c double-flat. Accidentals only apply to the specific pitch they are on - even different octaves need an accidental to indicate a change.
