I [recently asked a question about on- and kun-
yomi](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/36129/similar-%E9%9F%B3-%E8%A8%93%E8%AA%AD%E3%81%BF-
coincidence-or-something-more) and in building the title guessed at how the
two compounds involved could be contracted; landing on 「音・訓読み」.

Is this indeed the correct way of abbreviating something like 「音読み・訓読み」, and
if so, when can it be used?

If not; what construction should be used?

question
orthography compounds coordination
Abbreviating sets of compounds with leading characters in common
Interesting question. Is this common in Jp?

Examples in English :

  * . . . control issues in ground-, water-, and air-based robots.

  * nineteenth- and twentieth-century.

  * e.g. two-, three-, or four-fold increase.

  * "investor-owned and -operated".

When I do net-search with 「音・訓読み」, the results include few or no hits
indicating the meaning 「音読み・訓読み」.

音・訓読み (and especially without the dot as 音訓読み) often means 重箱読み.

In general, there is no restriction in making this kind of ad hoc portmanteau
compounds, as long as all original words have parallel structure. That said,
it's more natural if the non-common parts are contrastive in meaning.

It doesn't need to be exactly two components:

or being the first character:

> [輸出入](http://law.e-gov.go.jp/htmldata/S27/S27HO299.html) "import and export"
> < 輸出 + 輸入

But an interpunct (・) is required when the result spelling causes confusion
(colliding with existing words):

In your case, however, the word 音訓読み is already reserved for "a type of
2-kanji word where the former is read in 音読み and the latter in 訓読み", so you
should avoid this wording (but should be understood with aid of the context).
Fortunately, as mentioned in a comment, what you mean can be conveyed by
another word [音訓](http://dictionary.goo.ne.jp/jn/34326/meaning/m0u/).
