Ah yes, another case of 'split' and I have lots of those!

-----
For the record, Transaction Journal view shows each debit and credit and the Memos for each.

Double-Line shows the Notes field and is independent of Transaction Journal view.

That's the 'easy' part.

Now there are entries that involve multiple debits or multiple credits, or both, that only impact 
two accounts. This I personally call this a "split," as at least one debit or credit is 
being "split" into more than is necessary for the basics. Often the memos are important 
here.

When the "transaction journal" in GnuCash is selected, GnuCash shows all the impacted 
accounts, and if "Double Line" is also selected, then it shows the memo field too.

I'm not sure what the best use of "split" is, as this question reminds me of various 
seemingly simple questions, such as "Where does milk come from?"
