No no no : if you choose the style "book", then a new
menu "Part" appears directly at level 0 in the menubar.

With the preamble, it should work.

Otherwise, you can develop your own style file,
a simple introduction about that is given at:

The tutorial above should kickstart you efficiently ;-).

For the rest, as soon as you understand that
in the TeXmacs stylesheet language, a macro
is an s-expression (and as soon as you have
some practice of lisp/functional languages),
things become easy.

Once you are there, the reference of the
markup primitives and the reference of the
stylesheet language in the official TeXmacs
documentation is the only other thing you
need.
