You *might* be able to embed a newline in the description to force
multiple lines, but in general, no, the only way to do what you want is
to create a second line item with the same date, which means you'll see
what you see -- a line-item with qty/price == 0.  There is no other way.

I'll note that there is no way to do this in a normal transaction,
either.  Your "double line mode" that you see in the transaction
register does not directly equate to a printed output, either.
