I haven't done a fourple, but I _have_ done triples aurally.

-Simply designate which is primo and tune it the best you can.
-Tune secondo the best you can, then compare to primo making whatever 
little compromises may be necessary to both.
-Tune the caboose the best you can, compare it to primo and make any 
compromises to terzo.
-Charge as though you also did quarto.
-Go home and open a fifth or a six-pack...;-}

My mind not only wanders, sometimes it leaves completely.
It's gone right now and didn't leave a forwarding address.
