. Newham spectrum takes horizontal lines as the standard, and uses symbols to indicate the level of sound, but does not show the length of sound value. Since the 7th century, this notation has appeared in European Catholic churches. At first, only one line was used to represent the f pitch, and in the 11th century, it gradually developed into four lines through Guido, arezzo.

Specify the pitches as D, F, A and C, and draw the F line in red and the C line in yellow (which later became the origin of treble and bass clefs in the staff). In the 13th century, someone used the fifth thread, which became the predecessor of the staff. In the 16th century, there was a method of adding lines to make the record of pitch more complete.

Quantitative notation was founded by Franco, a priest in Cologne in the 13th century. This notation strictly stipulates the length of the sound with notes, rests and marks, which is a supplement and enrichment to Newham's spectrum. Around 145, the notes were painted in black, which was called measured black symbol. Later, hollow notes were used, which was called measured white symbol. This notation was used in the west until the 17th century.
