I use the -n flag already to suppress the sub-accounts to only get a total. 
 Maybe a flag like '--silent-adjustment' is needed?

BTW, I don't really understand how the adjustments work.  See the attached 
(minimal example) files.  The difference between the
files is only the price.  Sometimes adjustments are shown and sometime not. 
 Why?  
(See the comments in the attached ledger files.) 
Note, if there is no text between 'test....' and 'end test', then ledger 
produced no output.

BTW 2, for testing an option --test would be good, which runs the 'test...' 
sections in the give ledger file and compares the output to what is given 
between 'test..' and 'end test'.
You could then easily collect many ledger files with unit tests, to test 
against regressions.  (I do that with a shell script, which you can find 
attached.  Use at your own risk.)

Also an option '--fill-test' would be useful to fill the test sections if 
they are empty. (This is also done by the attached shell script.)

All the best and thanks for the great work on ledger.
