I was wondering if it is possible to force particular style of displaying derivatives in Mathematica.

For example if I type: $$AB\partial_\mu C[\mu]$$

After execution it automatically be displayed as: $$ABC'(\mu)$$

I would prefer to have my derivatives with $\partial_\mu$ symbol for reasons. Is this possible?

Edit: Thanks for the reply Carl Woll. Such terms you written will never appear. What I want is to aesthetically have terms like $A^\mu\partial_\mu B$ and not $A^\mu B'$. Former case means something to me while the latter case requires one mental step to convert $'$ to derivative.
