I've been having a bit of difficulty removing objects from an array in a Dict object.

So, I've got a "Clips" Dict, which I'm appending new dicts full of note data to, called Notes. By appending these Notes Dicts to the Clips Dict, an array is created in the Clips Dict, which can be accessed using this kind of syntax: "Clips[0]."

Though I can append and access this array, I can't remove Dicts from it. If I send a remove "Clips[0]" to the Clips Dict, the whole of Clips is removed, rather than only the Notes Dict indexed at [0].

I appear to be able to remove Dicts if they aren't in an array, for instance, this works as expected: "remove Clips[0]::Notes." So it's really just removing stuff from an array that's the problem.

{
    "Clips" : [         {
            "Notes" :             {
                "NOTE 0" :                 {
                    "pitch" : 60,
                    "velocity" : 100,
                    "duration" : 0.25,
                    "start" : 0,
                    "muted" : 0
                }
,
                "NOTE 1" :                 {
                    "pitch" : 62,
                    "velocity" : 100,
                    "duration" : 0.25,
                    "start" : 1.75,
                    "muted" : 0
                }
,
                "NOTE 2" :                 {
                    "pitch" : 63,
                    "velocity" : 100,
                    "duration" : 0.25,
                    "start" : 1,
                    "muted" : 0
                }
,
                "NOTE 3" :                 {
                    "pitch" : 64,
                    "velocity" : 100,
                    "duration" : 0.25,
                    "start" : 3,
                    "muted" : 0
                }
,
                "NOTE 4" :                 {
                    "pitch" : 65,
                    "velocity" : 100,
                    "duration" : 0.25,
                    "start" : 0.5,
                    "muted" : 0
                }

            }

        }

Hello there all,

I think you need to extract the array, change it and rebuild the dict.

For future reference, if you want to filter out an entry from an array in a dict, for example when using the new Live 11 notes API in Max for Live, here is a way to do that:
