I'm trying to get partials to look better in version 3. I've tried all
kinds of tricks, including using the Notation package to do this, but to
no avail so far.

I want a form that currently displays as

  h^(0,1) [u,x]   to display as    \partial_x  h[u,x]

where \partial is the del symbol and "_x" means subscript x.

One thing I tried was

h^(a_) [b_] :=  \partial_a.b  h[b]


Matching this to the previous example was to give

  a.b = {0,1}.{u,x} = x

Thanks

Patrick
