Rhyme Scheme - February 2022

A monthly, music-themed meta crossword published at noon on the first Tuesday of every month. The puzzles increase in difficulty each month, and at year end there is a 13th puzzle (the "Mega-Meta") that invokes each of the 12 monthly puzzles. Currently available at https://pmxwords.com/, as well as through the Washington Post website here: MMMM at WaPo

Congratulations!!
If you want help with a meta, feel free to PM me. The more specific you are about what you have and what you want, the more likely I can help without spoiling.

(And if I help you win a mug, I’ll be especially delighted.)

MMMM newbie here - first puzzle I’ve solved. Quick question: is there an advantage to submitting the Red Herring early in the year? I grew up in the answer’s decade and think I know it, but I’d rather wait for more confirmation if it doesn’t matter when it’s submitted. Thanks.
Overthinking is my super power. 8-)

There's no bonus for submitting the Red Herring early, and you only get one guess, so IMO you should wait until you're really sure.

You do get a bonus for submitting the Mega-Meta answer early, the earlier the more bonus points, and you can guess multiple times although wrong guesses cost a point.

I'm amazed that so many people are this sure about the RH this early in the game! I have a guess but I'd only put it at maybe 30% certainty. What are you all seeing that I'm not?? Don't answer that :-)

BTW, this month's cover of "Fernando" is unexpectedly beautiful...
