The method that is now working me is as follows.

When the bill arrives, create a transaction in the expense register, with the 
liability account as the other account. Increase the expense account by the 
value of the bill. This will also increase the balance of the liability. The 
liability balance will become more negative. This happens every time you 
receive a bill.

When you pay a bill, partially or completely, create a transaction in the 
chequing register, transferring the value paid out of the chequing, and into 
the liability account, thereby reducing the liability by the mount paid.

The liability account will track the balance of the unpaid bill.
