I don't think it's in a time signature, I'm pretty sure it's in a couple of different time signatures/tempos with a number of sections of the melody that are loosely phrased together. You got Charlie's ostinato figure up top that the melody comes in over, there's a sort of pause and then the second 'part' of the melody in a time stream that's a little quicker than the original statement. I'm only hip to the Ornette recording and the Allen/Haden/Motian recording, but they both seem to follow that format. I haven't seen the Ornette tune in any fakebook, what I've seen is the Horace Silver LONELY WOMAN. Which is a nice tune too. Charles poliquin routines. With a 3 bar bridge.

Interesting question about transcribing free music: If I was writing a paper about Ornette, I'd try and create an exact transcription from the record, try to quantify all the 'looseness' in it in terms of meter and tempo changes, etc., etc. If I was playing the tune with a band, I'd probably create a very different score - some kind of non-standard notation, lead sheet type of thing. I can't remember exactly how I transcribed the tune but I may have written it without barlines, for that floaty feeling - heh. That Geri Allen 'Etudes' is one of my favourite piano trio records - great version of Charlie's 'Silence' on it too.

I recently put together a band for a few gigs playing Ornette tunes, so transcribed a load of my favourites, including 'Lonely Woman'. As a major part of Ornette's approach involves doing away with the constraints of phrasing in traditional divisions of 4 or 8 bars, you are pretty much left with writing the tunes out without barlines, or writing a lead sheet that keeps changing time signature.

Personally I think you should learn the tunes by ear, and that writing them down is of very limited value, but there was insufficiant time/money to just ask the band to do that. Its also very instructive, in my opinion, to listen to Ornette playing his tunes on recordings over a long period of time (which in the case of Lonely Woman gives you almost 50 years!), which gives you an idea what he hears as the 'core melody', and what is simply the way he played it on the date in question.
