Stan, At the present moment there does not appear to be any way to do what you need to do. There is no option in the current close book procedure for optionally setting the close date to anything else but the close date for the period +12 hrs. This is set as the time of the transactions generated to close the books.
I would raise a bug on bugs.gnucash.org describing your problem, if no-one suggests an easier solution, This won't resolve your immediate problem but will alert the main developers of the need to address your problem longer term Someone else may be able to come up with a better way of resolving your problem so treat the below as a last resort. First you need to ensure your data file is uncompressed(https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/GnuCash_XML_format). Then exit GnuCash, make a backup of the original datafile before editing it. The only suggestion I could make at this stage would be perhaps to use a text editor to locate and edit your additional transactions in your data file and set their transaction date-time to after the GnuCash generated closing transaction time. The hard part may be locating the correct transactions. If you note what the memo fields are in GnuCash before you exit it for the transactions you need to locate and/or alter you should be able to locate the splits containing them which will be within the transactions. Verify carefully that you have the right transactions though. If you have any problems, restore a copy from your backup of the datafile (keeping the original copy though) and try again. There is a copy of a transaction record from my datafile at the end of this post so you have some idea fo what to look for. You will need to first find one of the GnuCash closing transactions and note the date-time it was posted i.e. see the section like: <trn:date-posted> <ts:date>2015-08-02 20:59:00 +1000</ts:date> </trn:date-posted> Looking quickly at the code, it appears the same date-time is used for all closing transactions so it should be possible to then locate your additional transactions and change them to a date-time after the date-time noted from the GnuCash closing transactions. Perhaps add a minute but be careful that the time you add doesn't change the date i.e. time goes past 23:59:59. Save the file and then reopen with GnuCash.
