Question about piano notation / scoring & randomness
In the score I am working on, I have a passage, a few measures, of piano that is actually some random tinkling of a somewhat specific range of notes. Rather than notate something that would look rather odd and difficult, is it possible to notate this some other way, with some text instruction? If so, what would that look like?
Just to be clear, these are not tone clusters, they are not chords, it’s just random tinkling (but set within a certain range).
Many thanks in advance for any replies.

I would create stemless notes showing a range, add text with instructions and may be a line, how long it should be played.

Another question: In your example, how do I get that kind of notation on the score? I mean the notes and the black bar.

OMG thank you thank you
I'd probably do it by showing stemless noteheads to indicate the desired pitches, and then adding staff text to describe what you want. Similar to the second system on this:
