Maybe I'm missing an important point but AFAIK you can get automatic
beaming inside the melisma and for instance a shorter melisma command
with something like this:

%%%% Snippet

\version "2.15.34"

mel = {
  \melisma
  \autoBeamOn
}

melEnd = {
  \melismaEnd
  \autoBeamOff
}

\relative c'' {
 \autoBeamOff
 r2 d4 g,8 g
 c8 c c c b16 \mel a b c b c a b
 g16 fis g a g b a b c b c d c d b c
 a4 \melEnd r r2
}
\addlyrics { For un -- to us a child is born, __ }

%%%% End of snippet

Cheers,
Xavier
