Well I have found a few.

----- example #1 -----
This one uses a specific head for notes and uses typical timings (e.g.
quarter notes). The direction of strumming up or down is done by a
character above the note. This would be used on a staff.

----- example #2 -----
This example uses arrows on a Tabulature to denote direction and which
strings are hit by the pick.
