So I am looking for a notation that tells me to strum either up or down
for a certain period of time. For example strum down once per beat in a
4/4 time.
what does strum notation look  like?

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.

Another similar to above

I think you can use the "slash" note head style to get this type of notation

  \override NoteHead #'style = #'slash


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