While the musical notation evolved, mainly with the development of polyphonic music during the 14th century and music printing during the 16th century, the musical form of plainchant, with a Gregorian notation, continues until the 17th century, maybe even until the 18th century through liturgical music recorded in rituals, breviaries and antiphonaries and to a lesser degree in missals, mainly used by priests and cantors.
