If you are getting lost with the same account name under different
top-level accounts (what you call 'heads') then there are other
considerations:
1. By default, the full account name is shown, not just the 'end' name
(termed 'leaf' in the software) If you changed this to only show 'leaf'
names, it can indeed lead to confusion with same-name accounts that are
in different parts of the tree, and likely different types.
2. You can only combine same-type accounts. Thus:
Assets:ABC
Liabilities:ABC
are not the same type, and cannot be combined. (yes, I think you can put
an asset type under the liabilities parent, but do try to avoid that mess)
3. Just because both are named "ABC" does not necessarily mean they can,
or should, be combined. There might be very good reasons for keeping
them separate, but only you (or your accountant) would know.
Regards,
Adrien
