Thanks Ken, this works. I hadn't thought of using <xsl:number/>. The
output, though, starts with '0', so the first note is numbered '0' but I
solved this by putting the lot into a variable and upping it by 1.
:{)} That's the "programmer's approach" to solving the problem: throwing
it in a variable and upping it by one. Many of my students come to class
always trying to employ a programming approach.
May I instead suggest a hierarchical approach more consistent with XSLT:
<xsl:if test="note">
<xsl:for-each select="note">
<xsl:number level="any"/>
...other note stuff...
That way (1) you aren't playing with variables and (2) the above note
processing happens successfully when you have more than one note inside
your parent element.
I hope this helps.
