Absolutely right, William! How can intonation be secure over the range, if the right thumb is not consistently exerting upward pressure? Personally I don't find it difficult to move the fingers in this situation, because I then have a nice firm keyboard to work with as the clarinet is anchored, more or less, between the right thumb and the embouchure. The right thumb can then be used to aid intonation and also allow the embouchure to relax for third-register notes. It makes me laugh when people use so-called support straps around the thumb-rest, and then don't tighten it enough to be of any use.
