Anything with lower register A#-B (Bb-B or Bb-Cb) in it.

It's easier in the upper register as you can play the A#/Bb as normal and then add RH finger 2 for the B natural (8ve2 xxo|xxo).

On thumplate systems or if you use thumbplate fingerings, play the upper Bb as you normally do and add RH fingers 1 and 2 for the B natural (8ve2 thumb off thumbplate xxo|xxo).
