Re: axis specifier issue

You are ot giving us many clues as to what criterion you are trying to
encode which decides which notes to move, but note the
preeeeceding-sibling axis selcts all preceding siblings, perhaps you
just want the closest, so that's

preceding-sibling::*[1]
or, if you just want the closest sibling if it is a note,
preceding-sibling*[1][self::note]
