Dear Eike, we have a simple automation exactly for this problem: a pipeline called DIMPLE. In Diamond it's run automatically after data collection, if the user provided pdb file.
If you have CCP4 installed try: dimple file.mtz file.pdb output_dir The last arg is a directory where you want results to be put. The results include pictures of blobs of el. density not accounted for by the model -- places where a ligand is suspected.
