Here are a couple of calculators I've bookmarked in the event there is
something you can use:

ok....this was the easiest way for me before I upgraded to a 12" miter....
take a piece of scrap tall enough and place it against the back of your
fence on your miter clear of the motor, take another piece wide enough to
lay on the bed. Place your crown with the top down at the angle it will go
and cut as far through it as you can at a 45...or whatever angle you need
it. Take your piece to the table saw and rip off what you weren't able to
cut through....use what you have left as a guide to adjust miter gauge and
saw blade angle by referencing the flat of your ts blade. make a left and
right test cut, use a framing square to check fitting both pieces
together..tweak as needed. no math required.
Mike,
I sent you a copy of a guide that I use. Hopefully your email is "real" and
you received it. If not, reply to the group with a good email (I don't
listen to mine :) and I'll send it to that one. You can obfiscate it if you
want so you don't get auto spammed.
Thanks,
Mike

I might be missing something here, but it seems to me that the miter
setting would equal the CMS miter setting, and the blade tilt angle would
be the same as the CMS bevel setting. The blade is below the work rather
than above it, but I think that's the same as moving the waste to the
other (left/right) side of the blade.

Assuming your email is correct, I just sent a copy of a PDF that describes
exactly what you want.
Good Luck,
Mike

Thanks for the info Mike . I do pride myself in being able to work this
stuff out but I must admit this one got the better of me ...mjh

I dont think that is correct Jim ,not if you are laying the crown flat on
the tablesaw and using the TS mitre angle and tilt angle ...mjh
