On curves on K3 surfaces, II

We study the Clifford index c of a smooth irreducible curve X in the linear series |2H| on a special K3 surface S of degree 2n in Pn+1\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$${{\mathbb P}}^{n+1}$$\end{document}, with hyperplane section H, and we look for the complete and base point free linear series of S whose restrictions to X compute c. In a more general context, we discuss the features of such series, for an assigned curve on a K3 surface; this discussion is of some independent interest.
