This is first and second ending of a repeat and it is described in the abc 1.6 standard: |1 - first variant ending, all one symbol | [1 - first variant ending as two symbols. Perhaps the linebreak is causing your parser to have problems ?

When adjacent to bar lines, these can be shortened to |1 and :|2, but with regard to spaces | [1 is legal, | 1 is not.
