As long as you put a space between the | character and the chord, everything should be fine. I just tested this to be sure, and it worked as I would expected. If I put the | next to the chord, i.e. |C, then I ran into some issues as it's no longer recognized as a valid chord. The only change I made was to ignore standalone | characters when determining if something is a chord line - I did not change how the chords in that line are processed and |C will not be ignored - it will be considered a non-valid chord when determining if it's a chord line. If you can send me the file you are using, I'll take a look, but with my tests so far, everything is fine even when I enter exactly what you wrote above.

As a side note, make sure when editing your files that you use an editor with a fixed width font. Each space should be the same width as a single letter. Also, if you changed the font you are using for your text files, or any other relevant text settings, let me know.
