I can't help you here, sorry.

After the first time that you enter your paycheck, the next time the 
splits will be created automatically if you enter the same description 
field name.  Just tab through the description once GnuCash recognizes it 
and the splits should be created automatically.

For this reason I like to use the same description (ie: "Paycheck") and 
enter other information which may vary in the Notes field (ie: "February 
1-14", or whatever).

I'm not sure about using Scheduled Transactions for a paycheck, but I do 
know that there is no documentation for doing this.  Heck, there is no 
documentation on SXs at all.
