The modern system of a universal standard 5-line staff was first adopted in France, and became widely used by the 16th century (although the use of staffs with other numbers of lines was still widespread well into the 17th century). (from WIkipedia)
Da Vinci passed away in the early 16th century; he commenced the Last Supper in 1495 and went to France for the first time in 1516, to die there living on a royal estate.
