Hi Stan,
You are right, reports are not always consistent in offering consistent
nor flexible options. They have been growing organically for nearly 2
decades now, with no overriding benevolent dictator, and many cooks had
had a hand in developing them.
The most flexible by far will always be the Transaction Report, and I'd
think it could be bent to provide most transactional reports. But
summary reports like the Balance Sheet haven't been modified (because
there wasn't much demand I think).
If there is a particular case that you'd suggest an amendment, please
file an enhancement in bugzilla!

Using 2.6.18.
I want credit balances to be positive in liabilities, equities, and
income, and debit balances to be positive in assets and expenses. I'd
think this was standard, but I can't find any way to have it in both the
Assets & Liabilities » Balance Sheet report and the Assets & Liabilities
» General Ledger report. (The latter appears on a tab called Transaction
Report.)
In Edit » Preferences » Accounts, I set "Reverse Balanced Accounts" to
None, but then all my credit accounts we backwards in the Balance Sheet.
(Exception: Retained Earnings is not backwards.) There's no "Reverse"
option in Edit » Report Options, so I figure I must be misunderstanding
the setting in Edit » Preferences » Accounts, and change it to Credit
Accounts. That fixes the Balance Sheet, but now the amounts are
backwards in credit accounts in the General Ledger report (though the
totals of credit accounts in that report are not backwards). There's no
reversing option for that report either.
What am I doing wrong?
