When using gnucash on a modern computer monitor, I found it frustrating that there was plenty of space for the NOTEs field to appear yet also could not find anyway to make it happen. So I made some chnaged to a file in the source code, recompiled, and now have that capability. See

I am new to GnuCash. What was MOST noticable within minutes of my first use was the glaring inefficient use of screen space. Perhaps 1/3 of a register listing is just empty in an overly wide "Description" column. I personally prefer to have the Notes field visible in the SingleLine display
