I do understand that - but in that case, your pressure-cooker is either
pretty small, not high enough (it should be about as high as in diameter)
or the lid is a PITA to disassemble/reassemble.

If it holds at least 1 gallon or more (my large one holds more than 2)
and fulfills the specs given above, you're on the safe side if the
uncooked beans (soaked or not) with the liquid fill the pot to one third
at most. Let the pressure go down naturally completely after cooking.
Don't add acid (not even sparkling water) until they are done.
Salt, onions, spices etc. are no problem.
