The main way to do this is to use the key to move to the next
field which includes the memo lines. Just enter data in the memo fields
(in the description column on the second and subsequent lines of the
transaction). Shift- moves backwards through the fields of the
transaction. completes t

If you wanted to reorder the splits, it appears that GnuCash always sorts
them so that the debits are first and the credits afterwards. When there
are multiple debits or credits, I cannot tell how or why GnuCash sorts them
as it does.

You don't have to do anything special as far as GnuCash is concerned. I
have 9 years of data, and my file is 2.4M in size.
However, some people enjoy zeroing Income and Expenses each year to Equity
(I learned about it last year, and tried it, and I really like the benefits
I get from it). For me,
There is an overall memo field (GnuCash calls it "Notes") for a split, and
then each line of the split has its own field (called "Memo"; and, no, I
don't know why it is different).
If you wanted to change the layout of the field (not the transactions of
the split), that cannot be done; the "debit"
That is your choice. You can ignore doing anything and all the reports
will work correctly -- even the ones based on fiscal year.
But, if you want the equity portion to show the change in value on a yearly
basis in the Balance Sheet, then look at the close books option.

While I have your attention. I am not a business owner, and I don't have
any special year end close out or reporting to do. Do I need to do anything
special at year end, or can I just keep posting transactions into the new
year?
Thank you, and Merry Christmas.

There is a memo field tied to each split of a transaction, which you see in
expanded (split view / journal) mode.
There is also a transaction note field, which is visible in double - line mode.
The order and placement of these fields is not user-editable.
Enjoy!

No, the structure of the transaction register and the transaction editor is
baked into GnuCash.

I do not fully understand your question.
When you are editing a transaction (in Autosplit Ledger or Transaction
Journal view) there is an extra split line at the bottom of the transaction
where you can enter an additional memo with whatever transfer account that
you care to assign.
As for rearran
I cannot find a way to add a memo (or other) field at the end of the split
record in the register. Nor a way to rearrange the order of fields.
Thx
