Hi Ken, I'm flattered that you consider me a programmer; I'm just a humble linguist :-) I'll try your other suggestion too as I found that upping the number made the transformation rather slow.

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. ...................
