Every time I hear the word true, I think spandua ballet, always believe in your soul ...had to listen to it on you tube just now,Or say a door and window etc , what does that mean john btw lol
I leave them hanging past @malc , and mark them out then cut them plumb so ends up the same really . That way you can string line through if a few windows along the heads and bang they all line through
That won't work everywhere ,got pulled before on this, you need to eye it to frames or have a discussion about itwe never have a cut edge on the angle, the bonded edge is straight.
we never ask anyone what they choose if the frame is not correct. we fit all boards to a spirit level our work is then correct the frame is not our problem.

If the windows are not level or plumb what's the answer ,if you plumb beads to an un level widow it looks terrible .reveals first, i measure the reveal to find the proudest point.
i then add enough thickness to make sure that i can cover conduits etc. i then cut the head 12mm extra to hold the board up over the head.
the reveals are fitted to the spirit level.
the face wall is then stuck starting with the bonded edge of the board against the bonded edge of the reveal, working towards the internal angle.
when we float a set of reveals, beads are set plumb, reveals squared then ruled with a gauge stick then ruled in the upright in case the frame is bowed.
I did three flats during the down time 2010 ish,the were brand new flats,badly built badly run,the windows were full height and the were not plumb or level ,we checked with the young foreman he said just plumb the beads and they'd change the windows,there was an old spread on site (dead now) miserable. Old c**t ,he delighted in showing the bosses the windows and beads didn't line up,we got called back and he went around pointing at the beads not lining with the windows,they weren't happy,the foreman hid ,so we hacked off the beads,re lined them to match the windows,if your work is plumb it is not your problem.
You have to ask, it has to be queried ..Thats why i said i would ask the customer for this reason ......

I disagree ,I'd definitely have to say these windows are incorrectly fitted and id have it with a responsible person, these days an email confirmation too, I hate getting blamedtell them to take it up with the window fitter, you are not there to make other peoples work look good!

If they are new windows its worse again really .... i always ask and they cant complain .....
Malcolm has been at this for ever ,big contracts,he's clever and has the paperwork to cover his ass,the small one or two gangs would have to bite a bit more than malc would,I understand malc , depends on the job ..... I would still ask thou so this arguement if you can call it that wouldnt happen ?
you do think that they will remember that conversation ?
if you are on site work get a written instruction, if you are on private work then you are the expert that is why they are employing you.
As the expert though you should notice the windows are wrong and at least mention that the reveals will look wonky well i would lolyou do think that they will remember that conversation ?

No, he died on his own, he was a miserable bitter man,hated us as subcontractors taking "his work " but it was five flats ,Did YOU kill the old spread John?
