need to generate mass quantities of random notes for practice

[plasmacarwash]

Hey people,

I'm a newbie and I'd like to create a blithe score of quarter notes purely
for practice from middle c up an octave and half to g.
I'm learning guitar and need copious amounts of notes.
When I attempted to do it manually with just jEdit (not using lilypondtools)
I have two problems:

My (.PDF) measures spread the quarter notes over the width of the Sahara.
They don't come out "tight" like the tutorial. And two:

I made all my notes 4 to 5 octaves high -"dog" whistle-register.

Did I mention I was a newbie?

Thank-you.

Jay
