The good old Rubank Elementary Method for thr Clarinet has both Albert and Boehm system charts in the front of the book. Cheap by today's standards.

Until you find an Albert fingering chart, this may help.
An Albert clarinet fingers much like a saxophone. Low E use BOTH little fingers on their respective roller keys, since the keys are not connected together. F is rh little finger on the bottom roller key. F# is rh little finger on the bottom roller and lh little finger on the other lh roller key. G, G# and A are just like your boehm. B flat is first two fingers rh just like you are playing an A but press the little key next to second finger rh. You can also use first and third fingers rh on their respective tone holes on many Alberts. b natural is just like b flat on a boehm. C through E same as boehm. F is thumb and second finger lh, just like fingering C on a sax. Or play E and add the side key(s) with rh, just like on a sax. F# is just like F on a boehm. G thru B flat just like boehm. Add the octave key and repeat the above for b natural upward. Altissimo register -- experiment!
Unless you have a very good Albert clarinet, the experience will make you wonder why it took so long for the Boehm system to catch on.
Have fun!

see <a href=http://student.physik.uni-dortmund.de/homepages/kiel/Clarinet/griffe.html>fingering table by Mr. Kiel, Germany</a>
the one I'm going to write (includes trills, basset keys) is still incomplete (chalumeau only done)

Good advice above, many older tutors have the turn-of-the-century fingerings for the Albert-Muller and Boehm. Also the Int. Clar. A'ssn. "The Clarinet" has had several articles I recall on the A-M, which you may be able to find online [others please help]. Or just experiment, like we all do, to find the best sounding alternative fingerings for the "problem" notes. Don

The master index is on the ICA site <B><A HREF=http://www.clarinet.org>http://www.clarinet.org</A></B>; however, few if any of the articles are on the site.
