Thank you!!  

It turns out that 

Notation "{{ f x .. y }}" := (.. (f x) .. y)
                  (in custom com at level 0, only parsing,
                  f constr at level 0, x constr at level 9,
                  y constr at level 9) : com_scope.

(with outer brackets) also works, so I am happy enough with this.

Fixing a typo:

the right-hand side of :=, a com at level 85 eventually expected to be a com at level 0
