When using a color enlarger, it is possible to use the dichroic filter controls on the enlarger head to select output equivalent to a known contrast grade. However, doing this often requires referencing a chart that is often posted on or near the enlarger head.
It may be useful for the Printalyzer to directly display these numbers, below the selected contrast grade on the main display.
There are a few different schemes for these filters, but lookup tables for all of them can be integrated.
The main question to answer is how this should be configured. Does it make more sense as a global setting, as part of an enlarger profile, or as part of a paper profile?
It is a property specific to an enlarger, but the same enlarger can be used with either dichroic filtration or standard over/under-the-lens multigrade filters.
However, due to effects on exposure (and thus the paper profile), it may actually make sense to put this setting in the paper profile properties.
