I don't know if the snippet will work with 2.8.6 or not. [1]  But in your
.ly file you define a music function naturalizeMusic, but you never call it.

It would normally be called by something like

\naturalizeMusic {
  \transpose g ds {
     \melodytwo
  }
}

I haven't compiled your file to see if this works or not, but I would expect
it to.

Hope this helps,

1. Is there a reason why you need to use LilyPond 2.8.6?  I'd recommend
switching to 2.12.
