One left after a pretty gruelling time!
11/15. 'Beth's precursor advanced into one group of jellyfish'.
I have all the letters I'm going to get, have read the wiki on jellyfish and battled with Quinapalus. I was assuming that Beth's precursor is HR but that didn't help. Annoying as I have 6 of 9 letters. Tried putting the possibilities through the Chambers app too.
Help!!

Beth is in the Hebrew alphabet

In fact, the word "alphabet" comes from the first two letters in the Hebrew alphabet, later adopted by the Greeks.

you need the 5 letter Hebrew letter that comes before bet(h) +a(advanced) inside 3 letter synonym for one

Thanks everyone. I'm done. Fortunately the letters I had missing in the jellyfish weren't involved in the end game...unless I've gone horribly wrong.
I'll check my end game when the headache subsides but I think I got everything.
Just one parsing query for 19 'Break one of the strings (B)'. I have the answer but don't understand the (B).
Strewth!

I am full of admiration for your perseverance, everyone here!!!
I started this thread with a bit of hope but am quite glad I gave up quite early on.

Granama1, B is the seventh note of the scale, so you want its equivalent in do-re-mi

That's a shame Jogamel, but it was a slog for sure and it's better to not start or stop early rather than carry on regardless.
I'm sure you would have got there in the end but I know that people have varying commitments and calls on their time esp. at this time of year. I was lucky/unlucky in that I had nothing better to do at the weekend!

Thanks Quisling. I did put it into the Chambers app thinking along those lines but by then I think I'd had enough!
Jogamel, I wish I'd had the sense to stop but having cold-solved so much I felt 'invested'. Even with 90%+ of the answers it was still a struggle for me and I wouldn't have got anywhere near the end without the kind help of the community here.
I think I may give Harribobs a miss next time (unless I get better at using Quinapalus...but that seems unlikely).
Cheers everyone und Kerrang!

Jogamel, you may well have done the right thing. I don't often remember my dreams, but last night I had a fairly vivid one where there was a whole lot more thematic stuff to find in the grid as well as the singers. I was literally going round in circles, fruitlessly looking for all sorts of weird things until I woke up with great relief. I hope this doesn't happen to anyone else!
