A staff or a stave is the system of parallel lines and spaces used to write music notation.
Music notation is not a discovery, but a development. Or rather, calling music notation a discovery is akin to calling the English language a discovery, or an architect the discoverer of a building, or an artist the discoverer of a painting. There have been many different forms of music notation throughout history, so it's hard to say who first started using music notation.

Music is typically written on five horizontal lines called a staff. Each line and space on the staff represents a different pitch in music notation. The staff helps musicians to read and interpret musical notes and rhythms.

Staff notation is widely used in classical music. A staff is a system of five lines with four spaces within. The pitches corresponding lines and spaces are declared by the clef sign which is drawn at the left end of the staff.
There was no specific number of lines for a medieval musical staff. Some of the music was written with no lines at all. Some had one line, and others four. A lot of music was written in tablature notation, with a line for each string on the instrument that was used to play the music.
A strict period for the usage of modern musical notation cannot be mentioned. For example, the notation used in the Medieval period were known as 'neums' (mostly contains only squares and dots on a four lines staff and no clef). The modern notation of music with note-heads, stems and five lines staff) is presumably started from the Baroque period.
