I simply want a warning message so that I don't overwrite and existing project.

This has happened to me on a number of occasions.

A typical scenario is where I load an existing one, then while playing it have a
bit of inspiration for an alternative version, get deeply engrossed in this and
*forget* that I haven't saved it to a new project name. Stop and save. Bang!
I've just wiped out the original that I wanted to keep.

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
