I've got several books that have a title and subtitle, as in:

No Contest: The Case Against Competition

I'd like the "No Contest" to be used in the title template and the "The Case Against Competition" to be used in the subtitle template. The default setting is for the subtitle template to print the series and something else, so I'd like to change that. I tried doing some string manipulation, but my rudimentary Python skills are failing, and the manual doesn't offer much help for a seemingly simple operation.
