This is due to the \circleit macro yielding a horizontally "spaceless" result. Moreover, you cannot even deduce the necessary right-shift of the line by manipulating \circleit because the circle itself is a spaceless character of the musixsps font. IMHO the easiest workaround is to introduce a manual right-shift of the line start in your \String macro. > 2.

Yes, the position distinction is missing in your \C@TO definition. I've tried to add it based on the \C@TO original, and it seems to work for your example. See attached string.tex for my solution attempt.
