I think you're talking about tracking error rather than mistracking because mistracking means the stylus is losing contact with one or both groove walls causing gross distortion. Here is a graph of how a 500-mm straight tonearm without an offset headshell should be aligned on an LP with innermost modulated groove radius of 60.325-mm and outermost groove radius of 146.05-mm. The blue curve is tracking error in degrees and the red curve is tracking distortion in percent. It requires an underhang of 6.183-mm to minimize distortion.
