I see them on the projection screen in my head - an artifact 
of being visually oriented, so I look for beats where I expect 
to find them in the aural landscape. Like David Love 
described, only without the names. Slower beating intervals 
are rough range finders, faster beating intervals are 
verniers. Listen short, tune lots, cross check, move on. 
Balance, balance, balance.
