It's standard practice in Turkish & Arabic music to have, e.g. Bb, Ab, & Db
(for C hicaz) or Bb, C# (For A hicaz). I'll usually put in some
naturals in the key sig if i'm giving the score to a western-classically
trained player (e.g. Bb, E-natural, Ab, Db).

Of course there are also three kinds of half flats & three kinds of half
sharps too;)
