The abc 1.6 standard says:

 }   Repeat/bar symbols
 }   ==================
 }
 } Bar line symbols are generated as follows:
 }
 }
 }  | bar line
 }  |] thin-thick double bar line
 }  || thin-thin double bar line
 }  [| thick-thin double bar line
 }  :| left repeat
 }  |: right repeat

No mention here of "]|:" so no surprise it doesn't work. I don't
know what else you tried, but try this. It should work:

X:1
T:Repeat Test
M:C
L:1/4
K:C
|:CDEF|1 GABc:|2 GcBc|:cdef|1 gabc':|2 gc'bc'|]

Most abc programs will automatically draw the thick/thin bar lines
where they belong in the repeats.
