Impossible measure
In Beethoven's Sonata Pathetique, there was this measure that was not possible in musical notation so, I compromised by making the measure that is (of what I assume) correct and possible. Is what I did correct? or is there something I'm missing? Score is on account.

It looks like the Peters edition https://imslp.org/wiki/Special:ReverseLookup/30364 has your 'impossible bar' but most of the other editions here https://imslp.org/wiki/Piano_Sonata_No.8,Op.13(Beethoven,_Ludwig_van) have a 1/32 note at the end so you're in good company.
But if you really want yours to look the same as the impossible one, it's possible -- you can add the dot to the semiquaver rest by dragging it from the symbols palette.
