You're quite right; it does.  In that case, you could have a look at
input/test/beam-auto*.ly
to see how to change this behaviour.  Then you could have one line at the 
beginning
of your score to set it up, and then omit all the -[ -] from the rest.

Of course, it probably isn't worth doing that now, but it might be good to do in
the future.
