This question has not yet been answered, or am I missing something? So
here's my attempt:
The positions of the signature accidentals are defined in certain
MusiXTeX macros; these have to be changed in order to manipulate the
accidental placement. For me, the following hack works:

\input musixtex
\makeatletter
\chardef\thirt@@n=13 % musixtex.tex defines lots of names for
% char numbers, but just this one is missing ...
% this macro determines which signature accidentals
% are placed on which "scale step":
