Tom, forgive me if I'm misunderstanding what you're trying to
accomplish. (based on the initial direction of some of the replies,
perhaps I am not grasping the original question properly.)
But what do you mean by "ignore accounts"?
If you have any data in GnuCash, it *is* double entry. (GnuCash won't
let you do anything else)
The Chart of Accounts you are using might well need some tweaking,
(known as 'refactoring' in some software circles) but that can be
accomplished with an existing book, without having to start over. (in
most cases, even the worst case I can think of and have encountered, I
still managed it, and I've 'refactored' my accounts several times and
probably will again, I'm certain.)
Could you be more specific, maybe with an example, as to what you'd like
to 'ignore' and why? (that is, how you think 'ignoring' an account will
help you tidy things up.)
The situation may very well prove to not require 'ignoring' any account.
Regards,
Adrien

I have my original Gnucase file which has been continually used (for about
15 years) mainly as a simple check book app to replace Quicken. I am
motivated now to (1) improve the account structure and (2) start moving
toward a properly used double-entry system so I can use the full power of
Gnucash.
Is there any way to ignore accounts while incrementally working on tidying
up my mess? Or should I just give up and start afresh (ugh)?
