A cut-off disc in a Dremel works great for cutting music wire and allows very precise trimming.
For cutting softer wire, such as brass, or, in small diameters, stainless steel, I find that an old #11 blade in an X-Acto works well. Use the "heel" of the blade (to avoid breaking off the tip) and work on a hard surface, such as a sheet of glass. Small diameters can be cut straight through, while larger sizes are best rolled back and forth under the blade.
