Lets say you want to put a shaped molding around the upper perimeter of something that has one end higher than another; that is, that has two parallel sloped sides.That means the end cuts on the pieces along the sloped areas will be longer than the molding is wide. How do you do it so the copes will match what they are butted to? Or - if around the outside - the mitered cuts?

Here a few examples on more simple straight runs:

are some for cove which is what I suspect you are doing:
