Problem corner with cornice
Had the same problem myself. Is it the same cornice along the sloped ceiling as under it? Then I think it cannot be solved with miter cutting; I didn't succeed. I was thinking of solving it with a rectangular molding under the sloped ceiling (which is attached to the ceiling). Maybe a shadow molding with the angled side downwards, then there will only be a small gap at the bottom, if the roof slope is 45 degrees.
After a million fixes, it feels impossible. But due to gaps, I have to have ceiling moldings everywhere. What do you think about using quarter round at the bottom instead? The slope is 30*. So you go against the wall with a 30* cut cove molding. Then against that with a suitably sized quarter round. Then LATEX SEALANT 
Do you have or know someone who has a router? Then you can adjust the angle of the trim to fit. Both cove molding, quarter round, and triangular trim are made to sit in a 90-degree corner.
I filled the gap between the wall and ceiling with putty. Then I glued a paper strip on the wall so that it went right up to the ceiling. The most complicated corners where the trims met, I carved by hand with a backsaw and a Morakniv.

Had the same problem myself... After trying way too many variations, I gave up. Instead, I made my own corner blocks, which made the whole thing much, much easier. The result, in my and many others' opinion, was very successful!
It is entirely possible, but you must both miter in both directions simultaneously, which ordinary miter saws can't handle. Then, I am also curious about how you mean to place a molding for a 90-degree corner in a 30 (60?)-degree corner and make it look nice.
I'm also curious about thatcheetah1 said:
Should I have had a different molding from the start that fits better?
hi.
One option is to cut it against the outer wall (the low wall) straight. The other is at the angle of the roof forward with the Morakniv and carve a little, then apply some acrylic and paint. Voilà, the gaps are gone.
