I have come up with a solution using Times New Roman. There are a few defined superscript characters that work really well and this script works. You may need to tweak it to work with your font. Furthermore you will need Finale 2012 to get access to the Unicode field of characters.
Hopefully the font set you are using is Unicode compliant.
NOTE: There is one issue. Because I used a differently defined 'n' character, the baseline will be off kilter depending upon the font.
