and hopefully I have the right notes in mind now

I don't think or speak of 'BREAK.' The issue is similar (almost identical to that of moving from throat Bb to third line B natural......shortest to longest tube notes). You need to put more air energy into the move upwards. It's similar to playing recorder where there is no octave key. There is an exercise that helps with this. Play your low G (sitting below the second ledger below the staff). Now as you play that note, try to leap up to the 12th above (the D on the fourth line of the staff). It may help to start on the twelfth above and hold it while closing the register (same thing.....backwards). You should be able to do this with the notes further up the horn up to throat F and the top clarinet C. Successfully getting this exercise to work with ease should clear up ANY issues with leaps.
