You do not need to use rollers on a full Oehler. In your example, just
finger c# like b with right pinky open! You need this c#-fingering for
almost all #-scales (beginning with D-major, notated). As you say, it is
the problem to know all the alternate fingerings. The rollers are good for
fast runs up.
