I have gotten into the habit of using intervals to tune stubborn unisons.  Ofte
times you can be pretty darn sure of a clean unison only to find it wangs
uncomfortably much against a a neighboring 3rd or 4th. I end up just adjusting
the unison til it sounds clean against both. Another advantage of the one mute
approach.
