Consider the following ledger file:

2014/04/24 Test
    Income                    100
    Income:Work              -100

Running 'ledger b' yields:

                -100  Income:Work

I think this is very misleading. Esp. if you have many accounts in your 
balance, there is no way (without calculation) to tell, if the parent 
account is balanced out!.

Are there ways to change this?

I was thinking about better ways to display the corresponding balance sheet.

Solution 1: Display the parent account (problem: balance still not 
explainable)

                   0  Income
                -100    Income:Work

Solution 2: Show a dummy account:

                   0  Income
                 100    
                -100    Income:Work
