    Short answer: yes, that's the whole point of accidentals. The written alteration is the actual note to be played, overriding and completely ignoring key signature for the rest of the bar, so the lower D and F are natural D and F, the upper C, D, F and G are all flats. The transposition doesn't matter. – musicamante Dec 07 '21 at 00:38

Yes. An accidental is taken at face value, regardless of the key signature. It isn't additive. If you see B♭ you play B♭, whatever the key signature.
