Thanks!

Been a user of ledger 2.6 for a while and recently (about 3 months ago) 
upgraded to the 3.0 binaries (locally built from source on Ubuntu 12.04). 
It's great!. 
First time posting on the forum.

Just came across this feature and think it's a great addition.  I am trying 
to get a d/c report for my credit card balance, so I enter

ledger -f data.dat -w register --dc -S 'date' register 
Liabilities:CreditCard

12-Jan-01 Credit report                        Liabilites:CreditCard       
               $69.950                          0              $69.950
12-Jan-10 Refund Credit report          Liabilites:CreditCard               
                   0              $39.950                          0


and it (correctly prints out the report). However, since instead of the 
"Liabilities:CreditCard", I would like to print out the Note metadata that 
I have for that entry.


12-Jan-01 Credit report                        Wrongly charged check ticket 
number 12X8BT                      $69.950                          0       
       $69.950
12-Jan-10 Refund Credit report          Refunded   closed ticket           
                                                               0           
   $69.950                          0


Is there any way to do it?

Thanks,

c.b
