The easiest is to use superscripts for the strings. Not quite what you want,
but maybe your violinist can accept it.
U: $0^D$ 1 2 3 3 $0^A$ 2 1 0 0 $3^D$
Beyond that, TeX wizardry is necessary. The first uptext word translates
to \mtxZchar{10}{$0^D$}. You can redefine \mtxZchar. Trivial example:
put a paragraph containing only this:
%% \let\keepZchar\mtxZchar\def\mtxZchar#1#2{\keepZchar{#1}{$#2$}}
between the preamble and the music. That allows you to type
U: 0^D 1 2 3 3 0^A 2 1 0 0 3^D
This modification math-izes all uptext. Not undesirable, for the other
digits will be in the same font. It will clash with other usage though.
But I mean it only as an example of how to set about it.
