File Operations - Moving files based on a field with multiple values

Once again I am turning to this community for some much needed syntax help.  You guys are so much better at this than I am.  :-[

My genre tags all have multiple values, separated by a semicolon.  I would like to use File Operations to move albums into folders based on the first genre listed in this multiple value field. 

Right now I'm using the below line:
[%genre%]\[%album%] [$cut($year(%date%),4)] - [%codec% $if2(%codec_profile%,' ')]\%discnumber%.%tracknumber% %title% - %artist%
... however this results in creating folders with 2 or 3 genre names, for example G:\Comps\World, Folk\Albumtitle...

Is there a way to have it just use the first genre listed?

Many thanks!
