{title} {#words:|(|)} {series_index:0>3s|- |.} {series} {#status:|[|]} {#read:|read: |}
Now, I know that when you make a custom column in one library and transfer a book from that library to another, you are asked if the columns that are missing in that library should be transfered too BUT that goes not for the custom columns build from other columns. Is there an easy way to transfer them too?

You don't
transfer those because they are consstructed from other data.
What you need to do is Create those columns (with formula) in the destination.
2.5 ways
1) Create the/a Library with the copy STRUCTURE option. Then add books
2) Copy the formulas to Notepad (copy from the edit part of create custom columns, paste into a notepad (txt) file, later paste into the new column created from: formula area
2.5) Use a pencil to take notes and type those in
