Some weeks ago I've had a similar problem.

Have a look at

  http://www.roland-goretzki.de/cgi-bin/notenlesen.cgi

There You will be asked for the username, it's "roland", then for the
password, it's "benjamin".

Then click on "Notenlesen", then on "Einzelnoten" and then on
"Anfänger".

Take the first studie "Zum ganz kleinen Test" and/or the second studie
"Zum kleinen Test für Anfänger".

Sorry, that this web-page is only available in german language, but if
this is what You are looking for, I can tell You, how I did generate the
.png's of the randomized notes, assuming You are using linux.

Best Regards           Roland
