Just got this to practice at my lesson today. I will not see my teacher for another 2 weeks. I'm having trouble figuring out the Right/Left fingerings in this one measure.
This is #28 from the 32 book.
Line #9 the notes are G#, C#, B#, A, G#, C# bareline then B#
placement on the staff is
G# space above the staff
C# middle space
B# middle line
A above the staff
G# space above the staff
C# middle space
B# middle line

G# = no choice
C# = R
B# = L
A = no problem
At the end of measure 44 you're going to have to slide from the left B# to the left G# -- no getting around it.
And going INTO measure 43 you're going to have to slide somewhere. Either from the right D# to the right C# in beat three OR from the left C# to the left G# as you cross the bar line. Unless you have a left hand D# on your clarinet -- then problem solved.
Good luck!

Sometimes when you are looking at a pinkie problem, it is worth backing up in the score to find a way to set yourself up for an alternative solution to the problem.
My notes remind me of a bit different sequence of slips and swaps than James suggests.
In measure 42, slip from the RH D# to the RH C#.
In measure 43, your left pinkie is free for the G#. Then take the C# on the right, and the B# on your left in Measure 44.
The A5 in measure 44 gives you time to get the G# Left.
Here (4th note in measure 44), I'd slip Left G# to C# and take the following B#/C-nat on the right.
Most of the rest of the problems are solved by starting a pinkie sequence on the proper side.
Other slips/slides are
Right from D# to C# in the 3rd beat of measure 15
Right from D# to C# in the last beat of measure 22
Right from D# to C# across the bar line into measure 59
There are also some helpful finger flips to avoid using keyed F#s on the first space and top line:
In measure 11, play the top line F# with the RH middle finger and flip to the RH first finger for the following E#.
Use the finger flip from thumb E# at the end of Measure 51 to the F# in measure 52.
Start measure 37 playing F# with your LH first finger.
Is it not fun to play with such a primitive instrument?
Take it slow; and you'll be just stunning in two weeks.
