Wrap a piece of string around the drum and mark the intersection where they meet.
Take it to the paper or just measure the length of the sting and mark the paper on the opposite side of the corner you want to begin on.. mark it with a straightedge across the paper or just cut using the straightedge for the first cut.
Wrap the paper on until you get to the other end mark it there and use the string again to layout the final cut
All you have to remember is the direction for the second cut and cut diagonally as before

Do I lock one end of the string in the retainer clip?

Well you should the first time at least so the lead wrap is long enough
if that proves to be the case add the same amount to the other end
If it is too long then you only lose a few inches if that when you re cut the end
