# How do I generate multi-scene lining?

Generate tramlines across multiple consecutive or non-consecutive scenes in one pass using the Lining toolkit's **Multi** feature.

1. With your script open, tap **Lining** on the [Top Toolbar](https://help.scriptation.com/en/article/an-overview-of-the-top-toolbar-i5y1y8/).

| ✅ TIP: If the Lining icon isn't showing in the Top Toolbar, touch or click the plus sign on the right side to show additional icons. To pin it permanently, see [Customizing the Top Toolbar](https://help.scriptation.com/en/article/more-icons-and-customizing-the-top-toolbar-v1u97a/).

2. In the Lining window, tap the **...** for additional options, then tap **Multi-Scene**.

3. Check the circles for the scenes you want to generate tramlines for, then tap **OK**.

4. In the Multiple Scenes generator, enter your slate name, number of cameras, line colors, and characters per camera. ${color}[#333dcc](Toggle on) characters to generate **straight** lines across their dialogue; keep toggles off for **squiggle** lines. When you've made your selections, tap **Generate**.

5. In this example, the tramlines have been generated for a continuous take through non-consecutive selected scenes. The tramlines at the end of Scene 1 continue with an outgoing arrow and relate to the incoming arrow at the top of Scene 3.
