Brilliant, that worked perfectly. For posterity, the modified ledger file I
used is:
~Monthly to 2014/09/01
Expenses:Rent $500.00
Assets
2014/07/01 * Test 1
Expenses:Rent $500.00
Liabilities:Checking
2014/08/01 * Test 1
Expenses:Rent $500.00
Liabilities:Checking
~Monthly from 2014/09/01
Expenses:Rent $600.00
Assets
2014/09/01 * Test 1
Expenses:Rent $600.00
Liabilities:Checking
