Bibliography author repetition handling

 Bibliography author repetition handling
In a TEI <biblStruct> bibliography that uses biblStruct/*/author/surname (etc), I have managed to write the code that checks if the author name in the prior <biblStruct> is the same, in which case the output is ---. rather than the author's name. It works fine, but I'm running into a problem where there the first author name is the same as that of the prior <biblStruct> entry, but there are also multiple authors, in which case the full name should be printed out.

I thought that one way I might resolve this is to test if the number of authors in the prior entry is the same as this one, but I can't get it to work. I also don't know if this is even the best way of handling this. The XML is like this: (present output here: http://www.acmuller.net/articles-shisou.html)

-------------------------------------------
<biblStruct xml:id="Muller2017"><analytic><author><surname>Muller</surname><forename>A.

-------------------------------------------

and the relevant portion of the present XSLT is like this (new dysfunctional code commented out)


<xsl:template match="author">
<xsl:variable name="prev-autnum" select="count(preceding::biblStruct[1]/*/author)"/>
<xsl:variable name="this-autnum" select="count(*)"/>


<xsl:choose>
<!-- <xsl:when test="$prev-autnum = $this-autnum">
<xsl:choose>-->
<xsl:when
test="preceding::biblStruct[1]/*/editor[1] = . or preceding::biblStruct[1]/*/author[1] = .">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="preceding::bibl[1]/author = .">
<xsl:text>----.&#160;</xsl:text>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="preceding::bibl[1]/editor = .">
<xsl:text>----.&#160;</xsl:text>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="preceding::bibl[1]/*/author = .">
<xsl:text>----.&#160;</xsl:text>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:text>----.&#160;</xsl:text>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:when>
<!--</xsl:choose>
</xsl:when>-->
<xsl:otherwise>
