Slurring down to another register and getting an overtone instead is sometimes caused by a two dimensional 'bite' embouchure. Use the side muscles like when whistling, to push in against the sides of the mouthpiece. Kal Opperman used to say to push in so strong that you can let go of the clarinet and swing the clarinet back and forth like a pendulum. (hahaa) A good exercise to master is C above the staff slurred down two octaves, B down etc. This can be done without changing the embouchure. For the D to B mentioned above, of the course the fingers must also be co-ordinated.
