Hi,
with the given start,
1H - (2C) - 2D - ...
opener sees 5 diamonds with responder, i.e. if the majpr suit Aces are on board,
you are needing only 2C with partner to have 13 tricks.
Small slam is basically similar on, if p has the King of spades and the Ace of
hearts.
Hence you need to find out, if he has wastage in club.
A possible way to find is either 3C, in cace you still want to keep 3NT as option
or 4C.
The problem with 2S is, partner does not have 4 spades, he did not make a neg. X.
3C keeps the bidding low, it is a bit murky, the diamond fit is not yet shown, but
you always can correct this later, ... a delayed 4C should show a void, the direct
splinter may be a singleton.
