Thanks for pointing this out, Simon! I'm back to trying to convert the ledger this weekend and am hitting some issues with porting lot sales with ledger2beancount. hledger is giving me other issues. I guess I have to consolidate the syntax in my ledger files first. The older data was ported from GnuCash by some other script, I believe.
