I do hear what you are saying, but the current output makes it difficult to
quickly find break points between transactions.

For my purposes they are all equal, which is why I want one transaction per
line. So I don't care which line comes first. Because all splits are equal,
why would it matter?

What some programs do is give a header line, undented, with date and
description, followed by all splits, indented. I would also find that
acceptable. Example:

2021-01-06 Patreon
    Revenues:Dues  -$100
    Revenues:Donations  -$71.67
    Assets:Cash:Checking  =$4022.18
