Truncating Data columns in Columns processes

Hey all,
   Happy Saturday. Thought I'd tap the collective brain trust regarding a basic thing with the Soundshaper data editor that I'm just not getting, and can't find in the documentation.

Is there an operation to trim a list to a particular length? For instance, I was doing some spectral pitch shifting, and wanted to use a recurring list of midi pitches at regular time intervals. I used the data editor to duplicate the note list many times, but I ended up with a list that was slightly too long - my audio file has 33 evenly-spaced breakpoints on the "time" axis, and my list of pitches is 38 notes long. So when I bring those values back into the breakpoint editor, I have extraneous data. I can't find a way to trim it down to the same length, other than manually editing.

In this case, it's only a few extra values so I can do it by hand, but it seems like a data cleanup task that there must be a function for somewhere. Is there a way to do this I'm not seeing?

Thank you!
Mike
