Hi Tom. Here's what I currently use. Work in progress. Some of these fingerings are slightly different between my R13 Bb and A instruments, and it seems likely that different fingerings will work better with specific instruments, setups and players.

As always, confidence, fluency and sound diminish toward the upper end of one's range, but practice extends it all.
