Marlies,
sf = Short[x Range[20]]
{x,2 x,3 x,4 x,5 x,<<10>>,16 x,17 x,18 x,19 x,20 x}
%
{x,2 x,3 x,4 x,5 x,6 x,7 x,8 x,9 x,10 x,11 x,12 x,13 x,14 x,15 x,16  
x,17 x,18 x,19 x,20 x}
sf[[1]]  (*sf carries the wrapper Short, % does not*)
{x,2 x,3 x,4 x,5 x,6 x,7 x,8 x,9 x,10 x,11 x,12 x,13 x,14 x,15 x,16  
x,17 x,18 x,19 x,20 x}
