Abstract
A computer-implemented method, according to one embodiment, includes: determining, by the computer, whether a difference between information and corresponding design values is in a range. The information corresponds to how an array of writers write and/or are expected to write to a magnetic medium during shingled recording. Moreover, the computer-implemented method further includes: computing, by the computer and using the information, data describing a lateral writing position to use during writing such that shingled track edges are aligned according to a format in response to determining that the difference between the information and corresponding design values is not in the range.
