How about just creating a new account under Assets > Current Assets >and
naming it Checking 2020Then for the last transaction in Checking 2019 transfer
the ending balance to Checking 2020.This way everything is preserved and you
have all your 2020 checking transactions in one neat account.Wouldn't that work?

Unfortunately, there is no simple and clean answer to this, but here are the
easier options while keeping the book all together. (instead of separate files

#1 - Preferences > Register Defaults > Number of Transactions, might be useful
but you can’t spec a date, you have to guess a number of transactions. A good
RFE would be to change this to, or add a date option that applies to all
registers.
(note, the General Journal defaults to showing only the last 30 days, but for
all accounts, and I don’t think it is persistent.)
#2 - View > Filter By... > Date > Number of Days *or* Date Range, is what you
are likely looking for, make sure to use the ’Save Filter’ option at the bottom
or you’ll have to reset it when you re-open that register.
#3 - View > Filter By... > Status, adjust as needed. (and save the filter) This
might be a good option to use to not show reconciled transactions for example,
cutting down on anything that isn’t still pending.
You have to set #2/3 to each register independently.
I wouldn’t recommend creating separate yearly asset accounts, but whatever
works for you...
