    We study the cyclotomic exponent sequence of a numerical semigroup S,S, and we compute its values at the gaps of S,S, the elements of SS with unique representations in terms of minimal generators, and the Betti elements bSb\in S for which the set {aBetti(S):aSb}\{a \in \operatorname{Betti}(S) : a \le_{S}b\} is totally ordered with respect to S\le_S (we write aSba \le_S b whenever abS,a - b \in S, with a,bSa,b\in S). This allows us to characterize certain semigroup families, such as Betti-sorted or Betti-divisible numerical semigroups, as well as numerical semigroups with a unique Betti element, in terms of their cyclotomic exponent sequences. Our results also apply to cyclotomic numerical semigroups, which are numerical semigroups with a finitely supported cyclotomic exponent sequence. We show that cyclotomic numerical semigroups with certain cyclotomic exponent sequences are complete intersections, thereby making progress towards proving the conjecture of Ciolan, García-Sánchez and Moree (2016) stating that SS is cyclotomic if and only if it is a complete intersection
