Is there a way I could see my is view monthly, but from current date from each month? I.e. if I ran the command today I would see January to April where each month is showing expenses and incoming from 1-9, i.e. 1-9 January, 1-9 February, 1-9 March and so forth?

Idea is to have a comparison how expenses/income ratio is going compared to previous months at the "same time".

Like for January only I could $ hledger print -b $(date +%Y-)01-01 -e $(date +%Y)-01-$(date +%d)

Disjoint date periods in a single report are not well supported by most accounting software, see recent hledger issue. Nice solution!
