Re: Define a macro to produce title, author, ...

I don't know why what you write does not work, it may be because the 
title is not something that _likes_ being the result of a macro (forgive 
me the figurative language).

You might try the piece of Scheme code in this thread: 
http://forum.texmacs.cn/t/quick-way-to-add-title-author/152

where you can modify the shortcut (e.g. "t t l tab") and the parts of 
the title; you will be able to edit the text afterwards because it will 
be part of the buffer, not a typeset result.

Said this, to copy parts of a TeXmacs document as source you can use the 
menu entry Edit -> Copy to -> TeXmacs
