Praat Script "set boundaries over multiple tiers"

Question

I am wondering whether is there any script for aligning boundaries over multiple tiers. I set boundaries for one tier and I would like to set the same boundaries over multiple tiers, is there any Script for that?

Thanks in advance

This script will create two duplicate tiers for every text grid in a folder. To modify the arguments of the "Duplicate tier:" command to get exactly what you want, you can go to the following website, which is really useful when Praat scripting: http://www.bibiko.de/praat/wizard/

#Required parameters to get started.
form Enter the parameters to get started processing your data
  comment Directory of TextGrid files
    text textGrid_directory "enter directory path in quote"
endform

Create Strings as file list... list 'textGrid_directory$'*.TextGrid

numberOfFiles = Get number of strings
for ifile to numberOfFiles
    
    soundname$ = Get string... ifile
    Read from file... 'textGrid_directory$''soundname$'

    Duplicate tier: 1, 1, "Duplicate_one"
    Duplicate tier: 1, 1, "Duplicate_two"

    Save as text file... 'textGrid_directory$''soundname$'

    Remove

    select Strings list

endfor
