Well, now that you have it mostly right, maybe go in to the second account 
register and see whether you can change the second split price to zero from 
there, using the same tabbing technique.

    Thanks! This works, for the most part. The share counts in source
and destination accounts are altered correctly, which is enough to let
me do what I need. It does set a Price of 1 for the second line and a
Tot Buy of 13.00, and then creates a new Imbalance line in the split
with a Tot Sell of 13.00.

    I cannot change the Price to 0 on the second line, unlike the first.
Trying it results in it immediately being restored to 1, so the
Imbalance seems unavoidable. I can set the Price to a non-zero number
and make gnucash recalculate the Tot Buy / Imbalance fields, but that
seems pointless, since there is no actual Price or cash associated with
this transaction.
