[GNC] How to "Get Quotes" for a specific day?

[gnucash_2022]

How can I tell GNU Cash to update its "Price Database" for all known 
currencies, stocks, bonds, mutual funds, etc for a *specific* day?

I'm trying trying to prepare a report for a date in the past. I've set the 
`Options` for the report to `nearest in time` so that it will grab the prices 
for the commodities from the Price Database that are closest to the date of the 
report as possible.

Well, I checked the Price Database, and I have gaps in the prices for some of 
my stocks. For many stocks, I don't have any prices defined for the day of the 
report. Therefore, my report may be inaccurate.

I know that I can go to `Tools` -> `Price Database` and click the `Get Quotes` 
button. This will fetch the current quote (price) and add it to the Price 
Database for all defined currencies, stocks, bonds, mutual funds, etc. But that 
will fetch and add the prices for *today's date* only.

How can I do the equivalent of `Get Quotes` but for a specific day in the 
*past*?

[GNC] Add top-level account for both Income (Revenue) and Expenses (Other [Non-Operating] Income And Expenses)

[gnucash_2022]

How do I create a top-level account in GNU Cash that can hold both Income *and* 
Expenses in its subaccounts?

IFRS (and US GAAP) don't directly publish example Chart of Accounts, but I find 
it common to use some standard top-level account number prefixes. For example:

 * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chart_of_accounts#Example_Chart_of_Accounts
 * https://www.ifrs-gaap.com/universal-chart-accounts-0

1.0.0 - Assets
2.0.0 - Liabilities
3.0.0 - Equity
4.0.0 - Operating Revenue
5.0.0 - Operating Expenses
6.0.0 - Other (Non-Operating) Income And Expenses
 \_ 6.1.0 Other Revenue And Expenses
   \_ 6.1.1 Other Revenue
   \_ 6.1.2 Other Expenses

The GNU Cash docs say that an account must be one of five account types

> As we saw in the previous chapter, accounting is based on 5 basic account 
> types: Assets, Liabilities, Equity, Income and Expenses.

While it's trivial to create the first five accounts in GNU Cash, I can't find 
a way to add a top-level account for `6.0.0 - Other (Non-Operating) Income And 
Expenses` -- which itself needs to hold both Income *and* Expense sub-accounts.

How can I structure my GNU Cash Accounts with a top-level account named `6.0.0 
Other (Non-Operating) Income And Expenses` that can contain *both* an Income 
sub-account (eg `6.1.0 Other Revenue`) and Expenses (eg `6.1.2 Other Expenses`)?
