The answer is Guido D'Arezzo. He was the creator of the modern staff, he had used yellow and red lines to indicate pitches in the staff. In the modern era, these yellow and red lines were removed but still followed D'Arezzo's modern musical staff. Aside from the musical notation, D'Arezzo is also known for his text called "Micrologus"
