Could someone please explain the partial and covariant derivatives with upstairs index that appears all of a sudden in Wald in section 4.2 with no explanation? I haven't seen it anywhere else.

Homework Statement



(n,m)→(n+1,m) derivatives

Homework Equations



section 4.2--when the stress tensor is introduced, with downstairs indexes

The Attempt at a Solution



it was mentioned earlier by Wald; just didn't see it
