(How) do you use filter for Leica Rangefinder in monochrome photography

Digital Color converted monochrome is easy, I don’t need contrast filter, even If I want, I can use monochrome mode display to tell how it works. I guess this should work with digital monochrome camera too. But I give up contrast filtering on rangefinder film camera. 
 

What do you do?

With a monochrome sensor I still use colour filters, there is no other way to change to which grey value the colour is converted.

On a colour sensor the only filter I (sometimes) use is a polariser, to lower haze and take out reflections (both for colour and B&W photography). The effect of most other filters when converting a colour image to B&W can be achieved by the colour mixer in the raw converter.

It doesn't as there are no colour data in the file.

For outdoor photography whatever lens is on my M10M either a yellow or an orange filter will be fitted (partly depending on the amount of cloud).
