Do you remember which instruments you customized? That would make a logical starting point.

I customized virtually every single instrument in some way, shape, or form.

And without checking in between changes? That was a mistake...
Also some changes in formatting, indenting, don't make it easier to run a diff against them
It is not using an UTF-8 encoding, and flat symbols are encoded as "<symbol="flat"/>"
Hmm, I see, this seems to be a difference between MuseScore 1.x and 2.0...
I couldn't spot any error so far
So you'd need to do a side-by-side comparison of your file with the original one. Or start from srcatch with your modifications and check whether it loads after each step.

Chances are there are XML validation tools online that might be able to help. It's almost certainly an unclosed tag somewhere, and presumably this would be easy for a tool designed to look for syntax errors to catch.

By loading your file into http://www.xmlvalidation.com/, I didn't get a definitive statement of where the error is, but just browsing the file there and looking at the indenting it provides made it easier to spot the errors - I saw tags indented one way in part of the file, another way in another part, indicating there was a problem somewhere. The first errors I found as a result of this started at line 2322, where a series of instrument definitions have no proper closing tag (closing with "instrument" instead of "/instrument"). There may of course be other errors.

If those are fixed, MuseScore at least seems to load it without problems.
Hmm, maybe not, seems there are some more errors

Yes, I also saw a bynch of other tags that were obviously intended as closing tags but lacked the "/". Some short-name tags, some transpose tags. After fixing around a dozen and still gets errors, I gave up.
