'''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 [[cent]]s. It is the difference between [[21/20]] and [[22/21]], and between [[80/63]] ( = ([[10/9]])([[8/7]])) and [[14/11]], as well as the amount by which a stack of two [[21/16]] septimal subfourths exceeds a single [[55/32]] supermajor sixth. Tempering it out splits [[11/10]] into two even halves, equates 21/16 with [[55/42]] to create some interesting-sounding triads, and, makes [[werckismic chords]] possible.
