I'm attempting Bach's Invention Number 8, which starts with a canon delayed by one bar. I'm having trouble crossing over to the B-flat on the way down in the second bar. Could anyone provide some insight on proper fingering for Bar 2 of Invention Number 8? Thanks a lot

Use your 4 (not 3) on the D before, then there's no crossing over. Also, use your 4 again on the second Bb.
