How do you want to cut the crown? Up on edge or flat on a compound miter saw? If ther are to be cut flat, then you need to determine the angle of the crown mounding. i would suggest cutting it flat and because holding a long piece up against the fence of the saw is a pain the the rear. You would need some help for sure. Unless you use the string trick. I have done enough of it in college with the string. So help is always available when ever crown mounding are to be install. I still do much of the finish carpentry because its fun until the damn phone rings with you up on the ladder with one hand on the crown and the other with a nail gun in hand. If you can't fine the angles to set up the miter saw, I can give them you once you have the degree on the crown.
