I seem to recall there is a complex, incomplete, and/or non-intuitive implementation of this idea, at least as of GC 3.x, though I haven't checked recently. I do know that my 2000 Quicken Basic (which I used until switching to GnuCash two years ago) had a simple way of selecting lots being sold.*
As I recall, the program gives you the option of selecting lots that give you the maximum or minimum gain, FIFO or LIFO, or the checkbox flexibility of choosing which lots to sell.

I frequently use the Notes line, but normally hide that info by displaying only one line. That's probably why, whey I duplicate a transaction (which I do a lot), I sometimes (too often) forget to check to see if there is something in the Notes field that needs to be changed or deleted.
One solution would be to have notes display alongside the payee, but I could see a lot of users might find they lack the screen real estate to find that useful.
What about leaving the Notes on a separate line, displaying at the user's choice, but having a tool tip that would display the note (again, user-optional), and possibly a discreet signal to alert the user to the presence of Notes content.
I have no idea how feasible it would be to code any of this, and of course I welcome other input and suggestions.
Thanks,
