but it may also be that if by putting it in the "preamble" you mean
using a type-4 TeX string("---"), then musixtex.tex is input afterwards
and overwrites your re-definition. If you use type 2 tex strings
("\\...") this will not happen. Or, you could \input musixtex within
the type 4 TeX string before your re-definitions. I think musixtex.tex
will not be re-loaded when TeX later comes to the normal \input
musixtex, because I think musixtex checks whether it has already been
loaded and opts out if it has.
