To save searches, attached is a screenshot of my book for O.N (Realty
Icome, Co.), which last month split off ONL.N.

The account which name is cut off is
    Assets:Inveestments:<bank/broker name>:Stocks USD:<stock ticker>


TBH, I'm not sure if what I did was the perfectly correct action, as I
didn't verify if gnucash was able to properly lower the buying price,
something I'm not interested myself (as I let my banks/brokers worry
about computing capital gain/losses).


to copy the transation:

                    shares      price       buy         sell
A:I:Stocks:ONL          1       19.76       19.76
A:Bank:USD                                   9.01
T:NYSE:O                                    28.77
A:I:Stocks:O                                            28.77
T:NYSE:ONL             -1       19.76                   19.76
T:CURRENCY:USD                                           9.01
