This is precisely why the lawyer/accountant on the board of one of the 
organizations for which I was treasurer told me NOT to do that sort of 
editing within gnucash. But instead to do exactly what you are doing. 
Edit it afterwards when the full power of a general purpose editor was 
available << even though in MY case as a retired IT pro, something I

THINK about it. You want the ability to do this editing WITHIN gnucash. 
Doesn't seem like a big deal, and for THIS particular example, not a big 
deal. But consider ALL the possible differences that this or that 
jurisdiction might require for any and all outputs going to that 
jurisdiction. In other words, what would really be needed would be the 
ability to edit just about everything from within gnucash. And that 
would be a big deal, and a waste of time as excellent full power editors 
already exist.
