Recommended, perhaps a bit wishful bidding sequence:

West North East South
--- pass pass 1ª
1NT 2ª 3§ pass
3ª pass 4© pass
4NT pass 6¨ pass
pass pass.

3§ = 5+ ¨-suit, 8+ hcp, sort of Rubensohl.
3ª = Excellent ¨-fit, and 1st or 2nd round control of spades.
4© = Interest in ¨-slam, 1st or 2nd round control of hearts, and denying 1st or 2nd round control of clubs.
4NT = RKCB.
6¨ = Odd number of aces (1 or 3 out of 5), and void in suit above diamonds.

Discussion to follow.
