Jim,
If I understand you correctly, try
<xsl:when
test="following::*[self::p|self::line][1]/child::node()[1][self::verse]">
This picks up the following element nodes, throws away all but the p and
line elements, takes the first of those, and selects its first node child
if it's a verse.
?
The "|" may appear to be an "or" but it's really a union operator. The
expression "following::*[self::p or self::line]" would do as well.
Or you could do "(following::p|following::line)[1]/node()[1][self::verse]".
This groups the following p and line elements, takes the first, and picks
the first child if it's a verse.
Cheers,
Wendell

I have made some progress but still need some more help.
My logic is: While at last node in p or line see if following p or line has
verse as first node
This code finds the next p and checks for verse as first child.
<xsl:when test="following::p[1]/child::node()[1][self::verse]">
I need of way of adding "p or line whichever comes first"
Thanks for your help.
