Yes, I would have thought that this would work.  It doesn't fit in
naturally with how I would like to do things as I have many different
blocks of ledger entries spread around the file...  

In any case, I will try to see why this doesn't work as I have used
the :noweb approach for other babel codes successfully and cannot see
any reason why ledger would be different.  Added to my todo
list... :-)
