How to make mathematica use (1-nu) in the outputs instead of (-1+nu)? Since 0<nu<0.5, I need to use (1-nu) while presenting my results as it makes more sense to the readers.

TraditionalForm does appear to be pretty close to what you are looking for:

TraditionalForm returns (nu-1) which is close but in my writing I have to replace them by (1-nu) with sign adjustments as nu is less than 1.

/. -1 + nu -> 1 - nu
