I was thinking of using paper tape (with markings to fold) when I'm taping.
Applies to 13mm gypsum, (don't want to use metal corner bead) no microlit as I plan to paint later.
Questions:
1. For a 90-degree outside corner, should one board extend past the other board?
2. For a 90-degree inside corner, should one board extend past the other board?
3. For a 135-degree inside corner, do you miter both boards, or just let the edges meet?
4. For a 135-degree outside corner (=225 degrees), do you miter both boards here?
If you need to miter the boards, how do you do this?

I did indeed use a metal corner bracket but...
1. Exterior corner, I let one board pass the other.
2. I don't understand how else to do it? Miter? Unnecessary work in that case, you're putting filler anyway. Place one board into the corner, and the other against it.
3. I haven't done it myself, but I would probably let the boards meet and then fill in with filler.
4. Let one board extend out, saw off with a handsaw, which you hold against "the other wall." Place the next drywall, smooth it out a few cm as well. Saw it off with the handsaw, which you now hold against the first drywall you placed. Fill in with filler.

sounds reasonable, thanks!

If you have children, you might want to consider installing metal angles, as Bobby cars and strollers aren't kind to drywall outer corners. My mom has also dragged the central vacuum hose around the corner too many times, and now the hose has eaten a centimeter into the drywall, much to my dad's dismay.
But I had to make my own metal outer corner profiles for my 135-degree angles from 90-degree profiles, as no one had 135 degrees in stock.
I also find it easier to spackle; just lay against the metal edge and pull, and it always turns out perfect. Without the support edge from the metal, it can easily become a bit wavy.
