You could use a matrix for this. I put everything in custom commands. Like this, you can adjust kerning, line thickness, arraystretch, font, and so on later.
% arara: pdflatex
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{mathtools}
\newcommand{\mystack}[1]{\mspace{1mu}{\scriptsize\begin{matrix*}[l]#1\end{matrix*}}\mspace{4mu}}
\newcommand*{\myrule}[1]{~\rule[.5ex]{#1}{0.3pt}~}
\begin{document}
\[D\mystack{7 \cr 6\myrule{2em}5 \cr 4\myrule{1.5em}3} T\mystack{5\\3}\]
\end{document}
The notes are quite common in unicode text fonts, although for some reason the default latin modern has quaver but not crotchet, I picked a Garamond clone here Use with lualatex or xelatex
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{Garamond Libre}
\begin{document}
\textcolor{red}{a red quaver ♪ and a crotchet ♩}
\end{document}
