infinite amount of tones
Wrong.
an infinite amount of time signatures
Almost certainly wrong.
an infinite amount of tempos
Wrong.

Highly debatable.
instrumentation, and there's an infinite amount of combinations of that as well
Wrong, and beside the point even if it weren't.
an essentially infinite amount of tinkering like timbre, portamento/glissando, legato, crescendo/decrescendo.
The ``essentially'' makes this a worthless statement.
You need to stop abusing the word ``infinite''.
The number of melodies is infinite but countable, because they can be arbitrarily long. The amount of music that can actually be made is very finite.
