That's correct.

But the formulae that the mort. druid uses are hand-enterable in
scheduled transactions ... so if you can create what you want with ipmt,
ppmt and/or pmt [literal copies of the gnumeric versions -- including
argument lists], go ahead and enter same into the scheduled-transaction
editor window.

You'll want to note that the variable 'i' is always bound to the
sequence number of the scheduled transaction.

You should also note that any/all user-created scheme functions that
return a gnc-numeric value -- similar to the ones in src/scm/fin.scm --
are available in this context ... that is, if a function is encountered
in a credit/debit cell, 'gnc:' is pre-pended to the name and evaluated
in the scheme context of gnucash.

Happy hacking...
