It really depends on the score. FFR has handled scores in two ways over time - Raw Score & Combo-based scoring. Combo-based used to be the norm, where combo was heavily rewarded and encouraged mashing on songs to achieve higher scores. This method has been deprecated to give way for raw score, which is heavily weighted towards accuracy. To sum it up:

Perfect: 50 pts
Good: 25 pts
Average: 5 pts
Miss: -10 pts
Boo: -5 pts

So if you had an FC run where you avoided any -10 but had a lot of average/boos for example, you could have a lower score than otherwise.

To give a numbers example:
A score of
500-30-10-0-2 (25,790)
is not going to be as good as
509-25-5-1-2 (26,080)
and this would result in your FC being overwritten.
