Narrative:
I was working the baden sector at approximately XX10 pm. I was working alone and started to get busy. I asked my supervisor for some help. I was working approximately 10-12 aircraft. I received a handoff on light transport. I had to hold him down to FL330 for a few mins for traffic. When it was clear, I climbed the light transport to FL430. As I began to do this, I received a handoff on an mlt climbing to FL350. I then turned light transport to avoid the mlt. At this time, I coordinated with ZID for turns on the mlt. I had traffic at FL350, an medium large transport. The mlt came on my frequency late, approximately 10 mi into my airspace. I turned mlt 70 degrees to avoid the medium large transport. Then I turned medium large transport nwbnd to avoid the large transport and turned the mlt to a 180 degree heading--another 70 degree turn. The mlt and large transport were 1400' and 3.75 mi when they passed.

Title: LESS THAN STANDARD SEPARATION OCCURRED BETWEEN AN MLT AND AN LGT.
Narrative: I WAS WORKING THE BADEN SECTOR AT APPROX XX10 PM. I WAS WORKING ALONE AND STARTED TO GET BUSY. I ASKED MY SUPVR FOR SOME HELP. I WAS WORKING APPROX 10-12 ACFT. I RECEIVED A HDOF ON LTT. I HAD TO HOLD HIM DOWN TO FL330 FOR A FEW MINS FOR TFC. WHEN IT WAS CLR, I CLBED THE LTT TO FL430. AS I BEGAN TO DO THIS, I RECEIVED A HDOF ON AN MLT CLBING TO FL350. I THEN TURNED LTT TO AVOID THE MLT. AT THIS TIME, I COORDINATED WITH ZID FOR TURNS ON THE MLT. I HAD TFC AT FL350, AN MLG. THE MLT CAME ON MY FREQ LATE, APPROX 10 MI INTO MY AIRSPACE. I TURNED MLT 70 DEGS TO AVOID THE MLG. THEN I TURNED MLG NWBND TO AVOID THE LGT AND TURNED THE MLT TO A 180 DEG HDG--ANOTHER 70 DEG TURN. THE MLT AND LGT WERE 1400' AND 3.75 MI WHEN THEY PASSED.
