'''441/440''', also known as '''Werckmeister's undecimal septenarian schisma''', or, more simply, the '''werckisma''', is a [[small comma|small]] [[superparticular]] [[11-limit]] comma with a size of roughly 3.93 [[cents]]. It forms the difference between a stack of two [[21/16]] septimal subfourths and a single [[55/32]] supermajor sixth, and, in addition to equating these two intervals, tempering out the werckisma also makes [[werckismic chords]] possible.
