Wow, that was simple. Everybody seems to be mortified of playing with the reports, but it took me under 15 minutes, counting reading the documentation and installing my code editor of choice (VSCode), which wasn't on this machine yet.
Helpful things to know (although they are easy to discover anyway): - Everything in the GnuCash reports menu, including the Hello World example, is "live" in the GnuCash install dir. See https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Custom_Reports#Where_to_find_existing_reports - Simply doing a default install of VSCode and adding a Scheme plugin is all that's needed. Then open / edit / save the .scm file and you can run your modified report. - Scheme files are interpreted: there's no need for any build, change the .scm file and run the report. That's it.

Check the wiki concerning custom reports. You could edit the report's hard-coded total labels and then add that report to your menu. Odds are, you don't have to know Scheme either. Just do a Find/Replace on the report code for whatever you want to change and then add the custom file properly as per the wiki instructions.
