Machine score does not dictate letter grade as Guest explained. The reason why the "higher" score can be worse percentage-wise is because machine score is weighted heavier as the song progresses. It's very flawed but it was DDR's way of taking stamina into account. If you were to play the first 98% of the song perfect and then miss the last 2% of notes, your machine score will be much lower than if you missed the first 2% of notes and played the last 98% perfectly.
