The way I recommend folks remember is that you turn the barrel in the direction that you're having trouble. If it won't shift up to larger cogs, turn the adjuster counterclockwise. (both to the left when looking from behind the bike)

I recently had to adjust the Shimano BE indexing on my new tandem. It would either not shift smoothly in the 1-2 position, or the 8-9 position. It took an hour and a half of fiddling to finally get everything right. One issue, for those of us who do this infrequently is that I'm never sure which direction - right or left - that the adjuster needs to be moved. I'm glad you have had a good experience with them, but I'm sure I'm not alone in finding them annoyingly finnicky.
