I have split done some account 'splitting' or what might be better
termed 'refactoring' where I added a new detailed sub-account.
To make that process easier, I:
1. did a Find to get a resulting list of all target transactions to
move, then,
2. one by one, re-assigned the 'anchoring split' (using Transaction
Journal View) to the new account. As I did each one, they disappeared
from the list (since they no longer matched the search criteria) and
3. when the list was empty, I was done.
Sure, you could maybe do this via SQL or some text processing on the
uncompressed XML, but the above steps work within the software, as
designed, and you can review each change since you have to do them manually.
For Complex Transactions, having enough descriptive info in the memos of
your splits helps tremendously. If you are in the habit of combining
line-items from a receipt, trying to split that off later without the
original receipt and info at-hand can be extremely difficult, if not
impossible. However, if you are re-assigning Simple Transactions, then
this will not matter.

Splitting an account is much more difficult. It is not possible to
select multiple transaction in an account register so it is not
possible to select a group of transactions and then move them to
another account.
