[bug] error message is confusing if score file not included in score-compose generate

[chris-stephenson]

Describe the bug
The error message when running score-compose generate is misleading. It states:

Error: the project is empty, please provide a score file to generate fro

This is confusing because this only happens the first time your run score-compose generate. The user probably does not know about "projects" or that there is a project missing.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
In a new directory run:

1. score-compose init
2. score-compose generate
   Error message will include:

Error: the project is empty, please provide a score file to generate from

Expected behavior
The error should describe more clearly what needs to be done:

Please specify a score file for the first time

Or maybe even better: if there is a file called score.yaml in the current directory - ask if this score file should be used.
