The process of making something flat or flatter; in music, lowering the pitch of a note below its natural pitch.
From 'flat' + '-ing' (the present participle suffix that creates the continuous form of verbs, as in 'running' or 'singing').
In music, 'flatting' can be either intentional (a flat note in jazz) or accidental (a singer consistently flatting means they're slightly off-key), and musicians develop an ear to detect even tiny differences!
