Is it possible to add a signature on top of a tab indicating one octave up or down?
How is this done?

I assume octave lines work also for tab, but I have not tried myself.

Thanks, this is it.
What are you trying to achieve? Tab tells you where to place your fingers on the fretboard - if you want to play the music up an octave you will need to play in higher positions and/or on different strings. Either way the tab numbers change completely- you can’t just use the 8va sign as you can with staff notation. Or are you thinking of just on certain notes, in which case try using artificial harmonics.

On second thoughts I agree. It does not really make sense to have octava lines on tab. You need to indicate which string and fret to press, and that will not be clear if you put a octave indication on a different string/fret.
