Any reason you neither try it out nor add any template to demonstrate
on?  A user list is primarily a knowledge resource: making use of the
different knowledge and skill levels of the participants for overcoming
hurdles, not for running the whole track.

It should be easy enough for yourself to modify the example such that
the repeats are on partial measure positions.
