The code I posted (plus your template for scope, made well formed:-) does the trick doesn't it?
explaining how it works:
<xsl:template match="scope"> <xsl:apply-templates select="*" /> </xsl:template>
or even just
<xsl:template match="scope"> <xsl:apply-templates/> </xsl:template>
is going to process all children of scope, so
<xsl:template match="misc"> <p><xsl:value-of select="." /></p> </xsl:template>
will do the usual thing and make a p element
we don't want most of the note elements to produce anything (as the first note element in each bunch is going to generate the whole list) so have a template that zaps them:
<xsl:template match="note"/>
Now we do want the first of each notes to do something so that's a note who's immediately preceding element is not a note
<xsl:template match="note[not(preceding-sibling::*[1][self::note])]">
this has higher priority thatn the simple match="note" so when both match this template (not the other one) will fire.
Thus template has to make a list and then make the items in it the items will be made in "note" mode so just apply-templates back to this node in note mode:
<ul> <xsl:apply-templates mode="note" select="."/> </ul> </xsl:template>
in note mode you should only ever see a note element what you have to do is make a list item, and then process your following sibling if it is a note and stop otherwise:
<xsl:template match="note" mode="note">
<li><xsl:apply-templates/></li>
<xsl:apply-templates select="following-sibling::*[1][self::note]" mode="note"/>
</xsl:template>
(you had <lli) there shoudl be ,li) of course.
