Yes, polyphony was used during the Middle Ages.

We do not have any real idea of when polyphony was introduced, but the earliest texts describing it date to the Early Middle Ages. By the end of the Middle Ages, it was highly developed.

There is a link below to an article on polyphony, beginning at the section on its origins.

In order to properly transmit the new polyphony which other aspect of music became more sophisticated in the Middle Ages?

In the Middle Ages, as polyphony became more complex, the notation system for music evolved significantly. This sophistication in musical notation allowed for clearer representation of multiple independent melodic lines, enabling composers to convey intricate harmonies and rhythmic structures. The development of staff notation and the use of neumes facilitated the accurate transmission of these polyphonic compositions, leading to a richer and more organized musical tradition.
