I think you missed a very important part of the suggestion I was making.

Yes this involves another "register" (account) but you would not be 
"looking through it" to find which transactions needed to be fixed. ANY 
transaction that you found there would need to be fixed and once fixed 
would no longer be there. Think for a moment of how "Imbalance" works. 
Any transactions you find in Imbalance need to be fixed and once fixed 
disappears,  from Imbalance. This would work like that.

Part of the problem might be not ever having done bookkeeping the old 
fashioned way, entering transactions into the "journal" and then 
"posting" to the "ledger". Essentially what happens when you enter 
"split mode" is that you are seeing what would have been the journal 
entry for that transaction and when you complete that split what you 
have as that journal entry gets "posted" to the ledger.
