I am a sax player that doubles on clarinet and use the Baermann,third division book for practice. Thoughout the book there is a star a line and a triangle with a dot in the center of the triangle under notes that are the "break". I have looked through the book for referance to this foot note,but could not find a desripttion of this symbol. Is it just a warning or is there a specific fingering they want you to use?
Thanks for any explanation to this symbol.

It means you keep your right-hand fingers down on the underlined notes -- usually A#,A,G#,G and sometimes F#.

It indicates where you can keep the right hand down in order to facilitate crossing the register break. I believe it's explained in the first book, but my copy is out with a student so I can't verify that.

The star-line-triangle symbol indicates that you should leave your right hand fingers in place across the break while playing the passage in-between the star and triangle.
Best regards,

Hey,thanks guys and gals......makes sense. I'm learning...maybe someday I will be a real clarinet player. Sax has some the same fingering tricks,mainly the articulated G# and front high E and Fs
and a few others.

Just keep in mind that this is the notation that Baermann used for teaching. You don't see this in standard notation anywhere.
