The way to make the notes tight is to set a layout block with
ragged-right = ##t
at the top of your score.

Since you want to produce random notes, you don't know how relative will work
(you aren't tracking whether a note is less than a fifth away from the previous
note), so I'd recommend you use absolute notation, with notes ranging from c' to
g' and a'' to g''.
Here's a simple test I made that shows how things work.
\version "2.10.19"
\layout {
ragged-right = ##t
}
\score {
{c'4 d' e' f' g' a' b' c'' d'' e'' f'' g''}
}
BTW, if you're using Jedit and not Lilypondtool, you're working a lot harder
than you need to.
