I've just had a very quick look at the balance sheet and P&L scheme code. Both seem to call underlying C o rC++ code to specifically return the balances and it does not itself compile the balances from a transaction list so it is unlikely to be able to add any transaction filtering in the Scheme code so it is perhaps not as simple to modify Balance and P&L reports. Seeing the transaction reporthas the filtering built in, it may be a better base for such customised reports. My scheme knowledge is next to zero though.
