If you're using up and down arrows for breath, you can draw a circle through the shaft of the arrow for an overblow.
In the tab font Fletch, I indicated bends by drawing a diagonal slash through the arrow shaft, with one slash per semitone of bend.
For overblows and overdraws, I draw a circle through the arrow shaft, and if the overblow is bend up in pitch, I add little slashes to the edge of the circle, again one slash per semitone. It ends up looking like a speared cocktail onion wearing buckskin.

Dear List,
Can someone shed light on how overblows are depicted
in harp tabs? The song- Flying Home by Dennis
Gruenling in the CD album- History of the Blues
Harmonica Concert- has some of that on a Ab harp for
an Eb tune.
Thanks
Venky
