The <lineageSeedMultiple> element is an alternative to the lineageSeed element which allows one to easily specify that a number of lineage seeds belonging to the same population should be introduced contemporaneously. It takes the following form:

<lineageSeedMultiple spec='MultipleIndividuals'
                     time='DOUBLE'
                     copies='INTEGER'>
  <population>
</lineageSeedMultiple>

The time attribute specifies the time at which the lineage seeds will be introduced into the simulation. The copies attribute specifies the number of seeds which will be introduced at this time. The population element determines the population to which all of these lineages will belong.
