Werckmeister (like Jägermeister and Weltmeister) is a bit of a bother. All irregular temperaments are. Either tune open strings and frets to the organ, that sort of works all right, or calculate a fretting pattern for the 'white' notes and most common sharps/flats. That won't work in theory, but you'll soon learn to avoid the bad notes and get a sort of working compromise. My usual compromise is to come with 1/6 comma meantone, as the lute will sound nice in itself, and see where the differences with the organ are, so I know what to avoid when doubling. Depending how big the continuo group/orchestra is, you wont have any trouble anyway (doubling the bass line with the cello/viol/double bass can be the most difficult). Bets advice; don't fret about it too much.
