I've been reading music for about 16 years and I have no idea what the square-lookin' thing is... I know the other symbol is the "flat" symbol though.

The square thingy is an accidental and is supposed to cancel out any already given flats or sharps on the note that it is applied to just in the bar.
But the other one is a flat sign.
I've been playing for 8 years now and I have never seen that. It's almost like a musical paradox.

the first is a natural sign (if that note is affected by the key sig that would cancel it out), and the second is a flat sign. I have almost never seen a natural and flat sign used together. from the way you typed it, it should be A natural, B flat, C, and D flat.
however, what is the key signature? is it sharp? in that case, the natural sign would be cancelling out the key sig and making the note a flat.

A natural sign and flat? I've seen a double flat, but never a natural flat. What's the point? Was the note supposed to be sharp, then they naturaled it and flatted it??
CRAZY STUFF!!!
Good luck, man...
