The problem is I don't know anything about Scheme. But after reading some 
more 
documentation I tried a fast'n'dirty solution. Now I'm focused on how to 
include an space between the authors and the year as in the first example. To 
do I have tried to write the following macro (citet as alternative of cite):

(assign "citet" (macro "ref" (equal (arg "ref0") (cite (arg "ref")))(range 
(arg "ref0") (eval "0") (minus (length (arg "ref0")) "6"))" "(range (arg 
"ref0") (minus (length (arg "ref0")) "6")(legth (arg "ref0")))))

[I hope I copied it correctly because copy and paste didn't work between 
TeXmacs and kmail.]

The idea of the macro is take the cite and split it in two parts separated by 
one space. The first part is from the beggining until the total length of the 
string minus 6, 4 figures of the year and (). The second part is the total 
length minus 6 to the end of the cite. Well, this is what I wanted but it 
doesn't work. Could you give a hand and tell what's wrong?
