I'd rather not capitulate and install the corner blocks unless I have

Any tips will be appreciated...

You would cut it the same as the standard crown. The learning curve
is figuring out where to put the whole tooth or no tooth. Sometimes
you will find it necessary to remove a tooth (fudging it) to make both
ends work out. This will become clear to you when you start.
