It's a nice idea. I have no four digit amounts; this gives no output.
ledger -w -f 2013.led register | grep "\.\d\d[1-9]"
My guess is ledger is doing floats instead of paired fixed precision, so
some amount doesn't represent well in IEEE exactly, triggers the longer
field, and then rounds back to zero ten-thousandths of a penny anyway.
Is there an easy way of specifying the amount to use rnd()? I don't know
the rnd or fomrat syntax, but like -d "a:rnd(a,2)"?
Thank you for your suggestions so far,
Charles
