FCPartialD[ind] denotes a partial derivative of a field.
It is an internal object that may appear only inside a
QuantumField.
FCPartialD[LorentzIndex[mu]] denotes \partial_{\mu }.
FCPartialD[LorentzIndex[mu ,D]] denotes the D-dimensional \partial_{\mu }.
FCPartialD[CartesianIndex[i]] denotes \partial^{i} = - \nabla^i.
If you need to specify a derivative with respect to a particular
variable it also possible to use
FCPartialD[{LorentzIndex[mu],y}] or
FCPartialD[{CartesianIndex[i],x}]although this notation is
still somewhat experimental

(*QuantumField[FCPartialD[{CartesianIndex[i], x}], S, x]*)FCPartialD also accepts FCGV symbols as
arguments, which can be sometimes useful to make the final expression
look nicer.
