Most written secular music was composed by troubadours between the 12th and 13th centuries. Over 1650 troubadour melodies have survived. They do not have a rhythm, yet they do have regular meter and definite beat. That's their difference from Gregorian Chant which has no meter at all.

Difference between Gregorian Chant and Troubadour Music
- The main tradition of Western plainchant, a type of Latin monophonic, unaccompanied holy song used by the Roman Catholic Church, is Gregorian chant.
- Themes of chivalry and courtly love predominate in the words of troubadour songs. The majority were formulaic, cerebral, and philosophical. Many of them were brutally funny satires. The trobar leu (light), trobar ric (rich), and trobar clus (closed) styles can be used to categorize works.
- With later additions and redactions, Gregorian chant evolved mostly in western and central Europe during the ninth and tenth centuries.
- The High Middle Ages saw the greatest popularity of troubadour music. Between the late 11th and the late 13th centuries, it experienced a golden age.
- Gregorian chants don't have a set rhythm. No complex rhythms are used, however, notes may be maintained for "short" or "long" periods of time.
- The neumes used to notate all troubadour melodies don't indicate any rhythm.
