Hello,
I am trying to schedule a Deposit transaction that is paid every 4 weeks
(i.e. 13 times per year) but unlike Quicken GNUCash doesn't seem to allow a
scheduled transaction that happens every 4 weeks.
Is there any way of doing this?

Note that ticking a box on the 'Scheduled Transactions Since Last Run' panel
