441/440, also known as Werckmeister's undecimal septenarian schisma, or more simply, the werckisma, is a small superparticular 11-limit comma with a size of roughly 3.93 cents. It is the difference between 21/20 and 22/21, as well as the difference between a stack of two 21/16 septimal subfourths and a single 55/32 supermajor sixth. Among other things, tempering it out splits 11/10 into two even halves and makes werckismic chords possible.
